Re: How many 5 year-olds.....
My 5 year old daughter weighs over 60 pounds and has very little fat on her body. She is in the 90th percentile for weight for girls but there are plenty of boys her size and larger. Having a pool of 2x to select from will lead to some good size rug rats coming after you. People that think you can't be knocked out quickly by a 5 year old are insane. Once you are on the ground one of the little bastards will do a running cannon ball on your head and game over. They certainly don't need any training to learn this move as I've experience it more than once when wrestling with a pack of the little buggers. I also think it's a lot harder to run through kids, knocking them down, trampling them, etc. without going down. Ramming your leg into a skull will throw you off balance (I know, I just tried it on my daughter) and you may well trip on the corpse you just created (I know I just did). I'm going with a number around 30 as reasonable as the ability to pick the best from the 2x group AND an entire day to train them will make them considerably more challenging than going down to the local daycare and stomping on the first herd you run into.
It's scary to realize how much thought I put into this question and the above only reflects a small percentage of my work. Sick may be a better word.
