How many 5 year-olds.....

[TylerD]

They have to short enough to kick them in the head as they approach you.

dude, if there are 60 little broken bodies littered around a basketball court and you are also having to trample kids as you move around, you WILL trip. what's so hard about this?

[daveymck]

If you trip though and there are 60 bodies around the 40+ are going to be tripping as well allowing you to get up easy.

Its still a lot more than 100 in my opinion.

Thinking about my daughters school they all line up ready to go in 180 kids aged 5-8 they dont take up as much room as you might think, and I reckon I could take all of them.

[Manimal]

Is there some type of custodian to clear the kids as they get knocked out or do they just lie there, unconcious?

If it's A, my answer's all of them.

If it's B, I think I can take ~70, maybe more. I'll have a definitive answer after I pick a fight at the local preschool this morning.

Are they allowed to touch the wall? If not, you could just bounce them off the wall and keep going. Plus, they would be relatively stacked up around the edges of the room, helping with the trip hazard.

A couple of things to consider:

* 5 year olds are going to be afraid of you...regardless of how many of them there are. Once you hurt one or two of them pretty badly, then they are terrified of you. It would be them running from you, not the other way around. (EDIT --- Okay, I just read the rules again, but still...)

* For 99+% of the population it would be EXTREMELY difficult (psychologically) to hurt a five year old that bad. The first one would be horrible, the second would be worse. By ten, you'd probably be okay with it [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

* Why are people wanting to avoid the herd of kids that will inevitably form (think of a 5 year old soccer game, just one clump of kids regardless of how much training they have)? Run into it knocking many over and knocking their heads together.

* Remember that their number is always diminishing. So, for example, for those saying 100 --- the question isn't whether 100 kids could take you when you get tired. The question is whether (maybe) 50 could. You drop them at a faster rate than you tire. It would take SO little effort to incapacitate them.

I've had a long think about this. It's a difficult question but I think ,yes ,I could take a 5yr old.

I think the answer here is as many as you could fit in the gym. The limiting factor is stamina. There's only so long you can go around punching little kids before you're gonna get tired and I think that's what's going to set your number.

[MattSuspect]

I'd say 20ish. My method would be running up to the scrawniest one; snapping their neck and killing them. It would give the others something to think about.

Good thread.

EDIT: Oops missed this.

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.

I'm still snapping necks though, not gonna waste my time with punching, they are low to the ground, I'll just run up, grab the top of their heads and twist, which would be easier then throwing them around,--a best defense is a good offense.

Kill the 5 yr olds, they can't come back and attack.
