How many 5 year-olds.....

[Drac]

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.

I think you're over-estimating their ability to take you down.

5 year olds are pussies who don't have any developed muscles.

I could undoubtedly take out the toughest 5 year old in the world with my legs and arms tied together

Abso-freakin-lutely amazing how many replies this post has received. The only thing that could help spike this number now is if Malmsky got into the fray.

This thread ownes, but my question is: Why hasn't anybody posted the results yet? I'd do it but I just don't know enough 5 year olds. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Did you forget this question is hypothetical?

I'll bet it would be possible, with a good bit of work, to determine this using computer simulation. Trying to figure out the question "How many" is a lot harder than "How long can you run?", "How much strength does it take to knock out a 5 year old?", "How many five year olds can attack someone at once?", "How hard can an average 5 year old kick/bite/etc?". It should be much easier for people to agree with a relatively close number on those questions. Use those answers to have factors like endurance, endurance regeneration, strength, etc... plug them in to some type of computer simulation and ta da, problem solved.

Would there be any interest in a project like this?

This thread, like Samuel Jackson, has become a caricature of itself. There hasn't been anything worthwhile posted here in about 200 responses. Make that 201.

Did you just make a post not referencing your winrate? or a headsup match?

Is everything ok?
