How Many Five Year Olds Could You Take in a Fight?

Post by VLSmooth »

This short survey will tell you approximately how many five year old children you could fight at once. Results are based on physical prowess, training, swarm-combatting experience, and the flexibility of your moral compass. Here are the ground rules:
  • You are in an enclosed area roughly the size of a basketball court
  • There are no weapons or foreign objects
  • Everyone is wearing a cup (so no kicks to the groin)
  • The children are merciless and will show no fear
  • If a child is knocked unconscious, he is "out." The same goes for you.

20 according to them. I could believe five, maybe ten.
I feel like I just beat a kitten to death... with a bag of puppies.

Dunno. I was completely amoral in my answers.

Using them as a weapon only increased your score by 2...

What if you dual wield? Or use it two handed?

A five-year old's gotta weigh, what, 40-50 pounds. You're not using one with anything less than two hands.

So, what are these numbers based on? I'm assuming that they wouldn't have been able to perform direct research and experimentation.

I've no idea what the data is based on. I think it's crap. Unless 5 year olds have learned tactics, you can just start running in big loops around the area, stop and take out the fastest, and repeat. You've gotta be able to outrun a 5 year old and they're not all gonna run at the same speed. Heck, just call nap time and you're done!

It's most likely based on nothing since it was created simply to amuse. The current 10 replies are a tribute to that.

Just FYI, 26 for me.
