Ahhh... the internet. I love questions like these, posted on The 2+2 forums.
Good drunken debate from a few nights ago.Posted by Jordan at March 21, 2005 9:52 PM | TrackBackThe 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.I set my magic number at 30, but upon reflection, I think I could take on a few more. How many could you take on?

Too funny... 5 year olds. No less than 100. (No 5 year olds were harmed in the making of that statement.)
But seriously, this is a lot like we did the other day... I'm reading a post about a forum that was discussing wether the metal in Wolverines claws would be cut through by a light saber. I laughed and talked about how nerdy they were. Then proceeded to argue the finer points of the subject with friends for about 20 minutes.
