Oh Yeah?!
A thread posing the question: How many 5 year-olds could you take on at once? There ARE rules, such as:
- 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.
- 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.
For me: 2.
I have taken on 4. Well, a 4 year old, 6 year old, and two 8 year olds. We were outside and it was about 100 degrees out there and I think they all had some sort of caffine. The 8 year olds definitly made it more challenging.
28. And I only wish that was hubris and imagination instead of experience. I’ll post the story one of these days.
I would try for 100. Even if I died, it would be a fun effort. I figure the “grab the first kid you see and spin it around by its feet” tactic would work until it disintegrated, then I have to get another kid.
