How Many 5-Year-Olds Could You Take in a Fight?

Hahahaha! :smiley: :smiley:

14

I’m a wuss

This is a ripoff of this McSweeney’s article! Everyone knows that 12 year olds are the most dangerous game. Beating up five-year olds is so wrong!!!
21 of the little fuckers, for the record.

The test says 25, but I’m pretty sure I could take more than that. I’m the rough and tumble dad of our group and there is nothing my kids like more than a daddy-fight. In general I oblige them and we’ve got plenty of grass stained jeans to prove it. This spring I visited their co-op and wrestled about twenty kids, all at once, ranging in age from about six to thirteen and gave as good as I got. The secret is to pick one up and chuck him/her at the others, like a game of bowling. And when one of the little buggers charges you, sidestep, grab an arm, and redirect them right back into the crowd.

Enjoy,
Steven

24, it seems. I also did it again with the intention of getting the highest possible score, and it came out to 36.

But if they resort to tickle-fighting, I’m screwed…

24; I suspect my body type is counted against me, which is sort of an error. Thin folks can sit on top of you, but can’t keep you from wiggling free :stuck_out_tongue:

Woo-Hoo! 31 kindergartners! Thank goodness it’s not 7-year-olds. I’d need a stick.

16 kids. Bring 'em on!

…four.

It’s a good thing I don’t intend to find myself in a situation where I’m fighting a swarm of five-year-olds, then, isn’t it.

But I probably cheated. It’s not that I’d have any moral compunction against using a five year-old as a projectile, but rather that it wouldn’t have occured to me. :smiley:

23! Yah! Ki-yah!

The site says I could take on 10 (as an elderly teacher, I’m pleased the number is low).

However the site fails to take into account my three special powers:

  • I have the teacher ‘voice of command’. Pupils obey me. :slight_smile:

  • I can tell really bad jokes. Pupils collapse groaning. :smiley:

  • given a really good spicy curry the night before, no child can approach within several feet of me (certainly all attacks from behind are right out :eek: ).

30!

So I guess I could be a kindergarten teacher after all.

You could take on 27 five year old kids in a fight.

I suck. I was expecting alot more. Looks like tomororw I’m heading down to teh local primary school and I’m going to prove I can beat more than 27!

26, darn.

The secret to this sort of fight is to focus on one kid early and knock his lights out. Then pick him up by the ankles and use him as a bludgeon.

  1. Go for the eyes early.
  1. Og damn 5 year olds need a good ass whoopin anyway.
    BTW, when I read the title, I was reminded of an OLD thread about how many cats could you fight off. That thread was fucking classic!

Eight, and I’m surprised it’s that many.

They’re just little ki–OW! C’mere, you little punk!

I can take 30. But for some reason I have a mental image of Arnold in Kindergarten Cop Picking up a little brat holding him by the ankles and spinning in circles knocking out the other kids.
