How Many Five Year-Olds...
 

Taken from another board I frequent - this question fascinates me...

The question: How many 5 year-olds could you take on at once?

The specifics:

- You are in an enclosed area, roughly the size of a basketball court. There are no foreign objects.
- You are not allowed to touch a wall.
- When you are knocked unconscious, you lose. When they are all knocked unconscious, they lose. Once a kid is knocked unconscious, that kid is "out."
- I (or someone else intent on seeing to it you fail) get to choose the kids from a pool that is twice the size of your magic number. The pool will be 50/50 in terms of gender and will have no discernable abnormalities in terms of demographics, other than they are all healthy Americans.
- The kids receive one day of training from hand-to-hand combat experts who will train them specifically to team up to take down one adult. You will receive one hour of "counter-tactics" training.
- There is no protective padding for any combatant other than the standard-issue cup.
- 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.

yeah....

If anything is gonna draw HA out of the woodwork, this is it...

Sure, but don't forget that a third of the five-year-olds from that thread have since turned six and are no longer eligible. So really, this is a new topic.

Dammit.

So I guess Subby Time is four months behind Greenwich Mean?

dude that board sucks if you are just getting to this.

tomorrow they will be discussing naked zorro.

Subby = teh suck

It was from January. I suck for assuming we hadn't already discussed how to pwn a gaggle of five year-olds.

Did someone already discuss the strategy where you knock one out, pick them up by the ankles, and swing them around as a weapon?

That one rules.

I think the best one was that I'm so little I can hide amongst them, and they don't know I'm the enemy so they start taking each other out.

Shorty's strategy?

There's a joke in there somewhere, but I just can't get the bat off my shoulder.

The first thread on this subject is my all-time favorite thread on here.

I was thinking about trying out a game I've seen on other sites. Its called Werewolf.

Is that the one where you bat the penguin around?
