You're in a gym. 5-year-olds are swarming you.

The URL says it all. Take the survey, enter your score, and post the thing in your, uh, post.

Oh, and NO CHEATING! No putting exaggerated answers, or voting for the wrong amount. I'm looking at you, BD.

I can take 25. For some reason, it won't let me put the thing up. But I promise it's 25.

I got 21. My bulkiness and averageness in a lot of areas probably counted against me. But I have to say that the last question- the one about using a child as a weapon against another- made me laugh. I'm not sadistic, I promise! I just thought it rather absurd....

I'm officially wimpy, it seems.

20 for me. My tall size, long reach, and relatively young age didn't hurt..

I did find it interesting, though, that it didn't ask for gender...which, like as not, would play at least a fair portion.

In all honesty though, how much force would a 5 year old be able to punch or kick with?

Biting, yes, clawing, yes.....and as it said, swarming would play a role....but I just don't see it.

You'd be surprised. A kid that small can raise an impressive amount of energy, with enough motivation. I see it in the pee wee students at my dojo....

I got a 26. ;/ Although I bet I could take them all down since they're only five. Because I can out-smart and out-maneuver them. I'm too tall for the little buggers to do much if they literally hang off of me on all sides, and they're more vulnerable to my reach and tactics if they don't do that. And I have a codpiece; that has to turn everything in my favor. ;p

33!


I would like to thank my complete and utterwillingness to do anything in a fight for this number.

I can take between 27 or 31 five year olds, apparently. And if it's me or them, they're going down. :O

But yeah, I dunno if I'd be considered just 'tall' or 'very tall' but that's what makes the majority of the difference, and I probably understated myself balance and martial arts wise.

It told me 25 since I'm short and overweight with no martial training. I think its a bit off in that estimate since most of the fights I've been in in my life were against multiple opponents I should have gotten a better bonus off of that. I have no qualms about fighting in anyway I must to defeat my opponent, regardless of what forms my opponent may take. My mentality is that an enemy is an enemy, nothing more and nothing less. You do what you must to make sure your enemy doesn't return even if it includes stomping on spines and hitting throats.

23 apparantly...
that last question made me laugh. It is odd how much like a swarm of Zerg five year olds can be...
Guen, why does it seem all of you guys have a dojo of some sort to go to...I get squat

I apparently can take 25 of the little monsters, assuming they attack me in an empty gym, though I think I could get a dozen or two more if there were supplies in there (basketballs, baseball/cricket bat, etc.)... this whole quiz makes me feel evil.
