How many 5-year-olds can you take out?

He'll dazzle you with terms like "Code Red."
Copied from another thread here:

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.

Bullsh!t. If there is no head padding, there is no nut padding. Let's be serious here, this is war. ;)

If i can get my hands on one, I can swing him around and take out a bunch of the others. I say over 10 easy.

Oh my -

The highly-restrictive ROE. The outside observers intent on seeing our failure. The fact that it isn't over until we knock all of THEM out, but they only have to knock one of US out. The (relatively) long-term training the kids get compared to us. The lack of "protective padding," other than the "standard" gear. The motivated kids, who will basically give 100% of themselves to take us down.

GEEE...is this just a game, or is this some sort of political statement dreamed up by the Left by which to draw comparisons of a cheesy game to the current Mid East climate? The only thing that makes me think that this is NOT a political statement is that they are 5-yr olds. Certainly, in their eyes, our noble "freedom fighter" adversaries cannot be compared to 5-yr olds. If anything, we Americans are the kids. :icon_rage

this takes some thought, guys. in highschool i worked at a daycare/nursery school with five year olds, and they can be little bastards.

one time a kid asked me to pick up her toy, and when i bent over to get it, a half dozen of them jumped on me and pulled me down to the ground. they had the whole thing planned out. granted, i wasn't allowed to start taking them out, but you'd be surprised how fast they can climb on you.

something else to consider- the average forehead of a five year old is crotch height (for most of us). i saw more than a handful of my buddies take a full speed forehead to the crotch, sans-protection or even any warning. ...couple of times, they almost DID start taking the little fvuckers out.
