How many 5-year olds could you beat up?

how many 5 year olds could you take on at once?

Here's the rules:

Quote:

- youre in an enclosed area, roughly the size of a basketball court. there are no foreign objects.
- youre not allowed to touch a wall.
- when youre knocked unconscious, you lose. when they are all knocked unconscious, they lose. once a kid is knocked unconscious, that kid is "out."
- i (or someone else intent on seeing you fail) get to choose the kids from a pool that is twice the size of your magic number. The pool will be 50/50 in terms of gender and will have no discernable abnormalities in terms of demographics, other than they are all healthy americans.
- the kids receive one day of training from hand-to-hand combat experts who will train them specifically to team up to take down one adult. you will receive no training.
- there is no protective padding for any combatant other than the standard-issue cup.
- the kids are motivated enough to not get scared, regardless of the bloodshed. even the very last one will give it his/her best to take you down.

What do you think?

Probably not, I'd be too afraid I would hurt them.

I could take on all of Mexico's children plus the children of the United States. Bring it.

I think this question is pretty wierd.

I'd say around 25 or so. Depends on how quickly I can punt the little buggers. I'm pretty sure I could get an average size 5th grader in the air. So just get em near the wall, then BAM, foot to the forehead.

I wouldn't fight them. I'd walk away.

I remember this topic from a few years ago. A lot of people where guessing between 50 and 200, until everyone tried to best the the highest number.

omg yeah! i remember this game! ... totally can't remember what it was for though.... o.O

but i would say that icoudl beat up... iunno.. not too many children. they would probably mob me and id die pretty quickly. how much HP do they have? and what do i hit for?

If they wore masks and someone told me that they were murderous midgets, probably something like 30 or so. So long as that training of theirs pays off. They would have to weigh me down and hold me down to win. Those little guys don't pack too much of a punch on their own... Oh and this doesn't count as a confession of intent, does it? I sure would hate to go down due to planning an attack on minors.

Guarionex · **Posted:** April 27th, 2007, 12:38 am

I couldn't :cry

I just love kids.
There's that and that I have been brought down and pinned by four or five 2-3-years old before and they were just playing!
Sure, I was sitting on the floor when it happened, and one of them was trying to help me get up by pulling me up by my hair

Lantis · **Posted:** April 27th, 2007, 10:02 am

The thing with 5 year olds is that they are at the perfect heigth to level a punch in your crotch... personally, I'd take a hit of the same force to the face before that.

And for some reason, crotch shots seem to be the favorite of that age... >.<

1ce · **Posted:** April 27th, 2007, 12:06 pm

Indeed, but the rules state that there is a standard issue cup. So, you have something, at least.

But geez, if the little buggers are trained and have no mercy....I'd hit the floor pretty soon.

I would try for at least 10. Doesn't sound like much, but that's the minimum.

Regal · **Posted:** April 27th, 2007, 12:12 pm

well, i'd like to guess at a number, but i have this sneaking suspicion that as soon as they saw me, i'd trip over my feet or something, and then it'd all sound something like;

Me; 'ouch.. that was odd. eh? what? what are you...AUGH! NO CHILDREN, PLEASE NO!! OMG WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!! NUUUUUUuu...'

*choking sounds*

Children; 'yaaaaay!'

i'm one of those people.

Agentsix · **Posted:** April 27th, 2007, 3:07 pm

5 year olds, hmmm I could make them do what I want so I would say 50-100.

TheGnasher · **Posted:** April 27th, 2007, 4:37 pm

Like Lantis said, you pretty much can get unstoppably going until one of the buggers aims for the crotch. But as much as they're just tall enough for that, this height is also just tall enough to be the perfect target of kicks.
And 5-year olds are damned non resistant.

So, as much as I can aim kicks well enough to a) the head, b) the throat anc c) the belly of the little guys, I really didn't think they can be much of a threat. Even with combat training, since they're 5-year olds, they don't have the mentality to learn this stuff, specially if only for a day.
If a kid gets too close for kicking, knee strike to the head. Closer, elbow strike to the top of the head.

So, my number guess would be around 25-30, because I don't think I could hold on that long before being punched/headbutted right there.

Lantis · **Posted:** April 27th, 2007, 4:40 pm

You do get a cup... *points at first post*

TheGnasher · **Posted:** April 27th, 2007, 5:08 pm

*looks at first post*
Didn't realize that was the deal with the cup, in my english n00bness. >.<

So, still depends on the type of the cup. If it's a glass cup, for example, then you're in for a trip to hell. =P
But let's assume it's not. So I'm guessing 30-35, luckily 40.
And, hm? Magic number?

BeautyQueen · **Posted:** April 27th, 2007, 11:09 pm

Oh, dear...

I wouldn't even think to hurt kids, but a specially train combat kids? I think i would just walk away slowly from them >___>

To dangerous, anyway i would be beaten up by them if i was all alone...

I`d bribe them with pennies.
If that doesn`t work... :evil

Even though they're trained, the adult has more stamina than a 5 year old and with way more strength.

I say at least 100-200 if I try really hard.
