How many 8 year-olds could you take on at once?

[Repugnant Abomination]

The question: How many 8 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.

Well, discuss.

I think you should increase the age. 5 really isn't a challenge at all. I'm pretty sure I could take on any number of 5 year olds you throw at me. Yah they'll have the training, but they'll forget it by the next day. It'd be easy as cake.

[Repugnant Abomination]

I dont know dude. If you're surrounded, and there's just thousands of them rushing at you you can only hit so many at a time. They would swarm you, plain and simple. they'd latch onto your legs, grab your arms, jump on your back. I think eventually you would get taken down and dog piled on. I'm talking an endless ammount of 5 year olds until you get overwhelmed.

Well when you said "how many" i didn't expect you to be insinuating THOUSANDS of these little fuckers. I don't know, i don't hang around 5 year olds often but i think i could at least take out 20 or 30 at a time.

[Repugnant Abomination]

I'm thinking I could smash a good 100 of the little shits before I was over run.

Room: Huge

If I Have a big enough room, I could always evade them, swing around, and attack them head on (which is in your favor).

I think I could take 500, once you get into the swing of things, punching them in the nose, or kicking them in the temple will become easy, 1 hit kills.

Edit: I could also employ the following strategies:

1) Throwing them at each other.

2) Kicking them in the ribcage.

3) Taking one by the leggs and swinging.

4) Diving into a pile, with arms spread, effectively knocking a good 5-6 down. Then jump on them.

5) Jump kicks to the head.

Well if you two are claiming that many then I could definitely take out at least 700, depending on how pissed off the little fuckers make me.

If you claim 700, then I'll take 1000.

[Mr. Blonde]

I CLAIM A HUNDRED MILLION INFINITY FOREVER PERIOD!

Times 2

[Ironic Mustache]

I claim a grimpchillion.

A grimpchillion is the highest number ever. Higher than infinity.

Fire melts at a grimpchillion degrees.

EDIT: I started a thread like this about 8 inch tall cloned UFC fighters that you keep in cages and fight against each other to the death. Then the idea was brought up that they'd most likely hate you and eventually escape while plotting your demise. In my scenario, it would be possible for them to get weapons and such and possible attack you in your sleep.

Dude you couldn't handle more then a dozen.

[THEINCREDIBLEdork]

Impossible, you couldn't even take 500. By the time anyone got to 100 they'd be so tired they'd collapse. Then again, the ingrained primordial pleasure of beating the shit out of 5 year olds would probably propel anyone to sum up more energy than usually possible. I could take 101 5year olds.

That's not true. I have prvious 5 year old fighting training.

[Ugly Bastard]

Yea, I agree with Blonde. If this was like 8 or 9 year olds, I'd have a decision on my hands; but 5 year olds? Shit. Throw a few hundred of them at me. They're not going to knock me unconscious. As long as I can keep up the energy to keep killing them before getting too fatigued, I don't see why I couldn't take out a thousand of them.

Ok ok fine, you bastards. Let's make it 8 year olds.

[bloodyfart]

as many as i could beat up for twenty minutes. after that, i would be too tired to fight, like that video where the cat gets eaten by all those rats.

[Repugnant Abomination]

Nice analogy.

[THEINCREDIBLEdork]

where can i find this intriguing video?

[George Sherman]

alright in a basketball court, I could take 63 for sure.

[Orgazmo]

The main thing I'm worries about are the fallen soldiers. Are the bodies removed from the facility after they've been destroyed? If not, I'd surely eventually trip over them...throwing myself to the ground and leaving myself wide open to attack.

Then again, I have the endurance of a fruit fly (a fruit fly with no endurance)...so I'd probably tire before the littering of bodies even became an issue.

Either way, I'd just pray that this didn't show up:

[bloodyfart]

her fat has fat. thats gross.

[Saint DH]

Her body looks like the Michelin tire mascot.

especially her arm.

The caretaker of that child should be shot. Fucking... drug out to the street, and shot. I'm dead serious.

How many 8-year olds could you fuck at once?
