How many 5 year-olds.....

[Yeti]

I'd obviously be thrashing around with my legs too.

I'm not saying this is the most +EV way to play it, not by a long way. But you can't beat a bit o' tupping.

I have since concluded that the responses in this thread are vastly overestimating the physical strength and intelligence of ever the top 50% of 5 year olds. Since these are REAL 5 year olds and not zombie genetically modified super 5 year olds, I would conservatively estimate my number at 75, and it could be as high as twice that.

These are "average" 5 year olds. AVERAGE AVERAGE AVERAGE. That means there are many fat kids, unathletic kids, and girls. In a group of 30 there would be maybe 3 or 4 that I'd be worried about.

I have been a camp counselor for 10 and 11 year olds with groups of 20-30 kids and there is not a shadow of a doubt in my mind that I could EASILY destroy them. Like above, there would be maybe 3 or 4 I'd be worried about and these kids are TWICE THEIR AGE!

5 year olds? I bet I could take on about 80. At that point there would be just too many and they would swarm over me, but less than 30? Come on now... how many of you have actually been with large groups of 5 year olds?

[Jake (The Snake)]

nope, not if they're AVERAGE 10 year olds. I think 40 or 50 is reasonable then.

I've actually done this, and while it's no fun when there are a ton of the little bastiges, once you get down to the last few, and you're kicking the crap out of them, it's a party.

Gonores,

I might give this challenge to the Marines. I am going through a course right now to be qualified to be a Forward Air Controller and most of the guys are Marine Aviators (Im Navy). I thought I should ask you if you are kosher with me bringing your idea outside the 2+2 environ. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

We have plenty of jarheads here. Besides the swinging wing don't know squat about killing 5 year-olds unless you want them blown up. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Well we could give one call for fire per hour to the adult. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Say maybe a single salvo from a battalion battery, load up some DPICM. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I have thought about this before when wresling with a couple of my 5 year oldish cousins. I think the best thing to do would be to run around untill the kids spread out a bit then hit them one by one, not giving them a chance to overwhelm you. 5 year olds are extremely light, you could toss them really high in the air one at a time, when they land, they are bound to break something and are not getting up. i agree that you will be limited by stamina, I think people are definately underestimated how useless 5 year olds are.

On saturday I will be running a chess tournament for about 100 kids. The Kindergarten section will be right near me, and there will probably be about 20-30 5 year olds there. If for some strange reason they all decide to suddenly attack me, we will have our answer.

so what about bruce lee vs. the 5 year olds?

I'm saying he could take ALL of them

Wrong. Bruce probably couldn't take 2x the ammount of kids we could
