How many 5 year-olds.....

[Biloxi]

Ive worked as a summer camp counselor with 5-11 year olds and Ive had many of battles against them. They can put a hurting on ya when they work together and attack from all fronts. Just a kick in the shin or knee causes some bad pain.
You have to use one hand to protect below the belt,so thats a disadvantage. And the training will show them how to wrap up legs quick and take you down to there height, where the real battle begins. A quick jumping roundhouse kick will drop the first 2 to reach me, then two hard punches will take another 2 down. By then you will probably have one on your back if you stay still. Its hard to sling the little punks off your back and it will slow you down.
With sufficient room to run I would have to go with 14. Im pretty athletic and could jump over them, and almost fly around the room kicking them in the head. But Im not strong enough to keep fighting once they get a hold of me and my endurance wears down. Over/under 13.5
Id bet over cuz of my speed.

who the hell thought of this?

EDIT: changing that to +/- 16.5 after reading a few others ideas.

you're overlooking some important things:

1) you get to wear a cup

2) i'm sure you weren't trying to take those kids out...put in the op's proposed scenario, you would fight much harder and be able to ignore more pain.

3) for all but the the weakest/smallest adults, your number is too low.

My odds on who will lock this thread:

Wacki 48%
Dynasty 37%
Mat 14%
Mike Haven in a drunken stupor not realizing this is OOT 1%

I havent read all of the posts but Im pretty sure one thing that people forget about, and what virtually ensures that any one human being could not take on more than, lets say, 20 five year olds, is BITING. These kids will bite like zombies and will eat you alive.

Personally I think a better question to ask would be, how many cancer patients could you take on, under the given circumstance that should the cancer patients win, their cancer would be cured (eliminates the fear factor of your 5 yr old question)

About 20, maybe 12 if all given a sugary drink and chocolate first, and suitably excited by a promise to be taken to toysrus if they can beat up the bad guy.

But they wouldn't stop when you're unconscious. You'd die.

Hey Dynasty or Wacki, can we lock this damned thread?

It's [censored] OVER. Done. Kaput. Finito. Finished.
