Saw this on another forum, thought it was funny/kind of interesting.
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.
I'm thinking like 9-10? I was wrestling with my little 5 year old cousin earlier today and I can't imagine it being real hard to take him on and 8 of his friends in a fight. A good hard kick in the face would do 'em in, wouldn't it? I guess if they all started clinging to your ankles it would be kinda hard to move, then they'd pile on top of you or something.
Sorry if you find this a little sick. If it helps you, imagine they're little 5 year old zombies who want your blood.

None. I'd run the other way and forfeit. I wouldn't want a bunch of screaming 5 year olds anywhere near me.

If they were all 11, you couldn't take down 5... I worked with 11-13 year olds for 3 years and if you get ones that are normal/active and they all went at you at once, they could take anybody that isn't Chuck Norris down

You all seem to forget they're trained to team up and all and you're not allowed to touch a wall. I'd still think 15-20. I think I'd just go and kick them all in their faces or take on of them and throw them at the others, which is kinda the primitive variation of what Peeps would do.
