How many 5 year-olds.....

If the kids get a little training, there's no way you can take on 30. One of them is going to get in a good shot below the belt. Then another will. Then another. You'll go down soon enough. Soon, you'll be getting kicked in the head and then it's lights-out.

You'd be lucky to handle 10.

You must be the weakest grown person in the world or 10 years old. A five year old runs slower than a typical adult's brisk walk. A five year old can barely open a typical gas station door. A five year old can be put out of commission (to a crying fit) for at least ten minutes by shove of similar strength required to open a typical gas station door. The number for a typical male adult is much bigger than ten and probably a good deal bigger than 30.

Am I the only one somewhat amused by this guy's frepeated use of the "pushing open a gas door" metric of strength? Do you work at a sunoco or something?

I am getting at a specific type of door and gas station is the only place that I can think of that still almost universally uses said door. The type is the self closing door with the mechanism at the top that applies minor pressure in order to close the door after someone passes through it. Similar to a screen door, but usually the ones in public places require somewhat more pressure to open. Obviously, a five year old could open a regular door, and many places like supermarkets have eliminated this type of door in favor of the fully automatic kind which a five year old can also obviously open. I was trying to call up the correct mental image with as few words as possible. I guess you could read McDonalds or Olive Garden instead of gas station if you like, but I happened to see a 5 year old struggle with a gas station door this morning which is why it came to mind.

Very good explanation! Sarcastic comment rescinded.

If the opponent could search the world and pick the biggest toughest 5 year olds the answer would be fewer than most anyone said. The most unrealistic requirement is that the 5 year olds aren't afraid. If they were physically 5 year olds, but mentally Green Berets, it wouldn't take that many of them. Ten large fearless 5 year olds that jump on you simultaneously and start biting and trying to grab and bite your nuts would be very difficult to deal with. Ten more in reserve would probably do just about anyone in. If they were a real group of 5 year olds, you could use your deepest, loudest, meanest voice and yell at them and they will throw in the towel.

If they are trained, then they will be trained to group before attacking, so where they start doesn't matter.

I would like to train them. I would train them to for chicken fighters (fat kids with smaller on shoulders) hahah. They need to group and try and get you to the ground. All that is needed is one good eye gouge, or cup removal/ball kick (or headbut)

I can't believe I'm responding to this thread.

I think swinging a kid would be the way to go. You could take off a kids leg and use it as a weapon, and the would be really really intimidating.

How many chimps could you take. IE, if you think you can take 30 kids, how many chimps (give your answer in a fraction, like 1/5 as many chips as kids)

As a fraction: 0/(any number goes here)

EDIT: Provided the chimp was trained for combat (would take more than an hour), or really wanted to kill you.

I did some research and it looks like chimps are 4-7 times stronger than humans. Ineterestingly enough I saw this quote from janegoodall.org

"By age five they [chimpanzees] are stronger than most human adults."

So how many 5 year old chimps do you think you could take, given you had equal strength? Meaning, how many additional chimps would your height and mental advantages allow you to dispose of? Neither you nor the chimps have any special training.

[Low Limit Loser]

Chimps are tough, they WILL bite your fingers off. Many documented cases of chimps attacking humans (most end in bit off fingers). A full grown chimp could kill most humans easily.

Damn dirty apes.

I think this entire thread would have been more interesting if we had replaced '5 year old' with 'midgets.'

[Nicholasp27]

how so? midgets can be just as strong as you; they are just shorter...u couldn't take on many midgets at all...they could be trained to hit your pressure points, etc, whereas 5 year olds can't really

i don't think u can take on more than 3 midgets

[Spartan117]

Ya..In grade 7, I took on like 5 grade 4's (8-10). I injuried many of them and got away with only a bloody lip. We were on a small soccer feild on the school yard and they al piled ontop of me, but i did have the soccer ball instead of kids..

Grunch, and a brillian question LOL

As the father of a 5 year old and the participant in many qualifying-like sessions, my personal record is 8.

My genitals do not want to find out whether I can go any farther than that, either. If those little [censored] were trained to go for your nuts, you'd be lucky to hold off more than a handful. When they swarm, it's impossible to get em all.
