This is an interesting "pub game" that I often fall back on when pub chats fall quiet. It's a mental exercise. Imagine if you started at one end of a large room, say, a basketball court, and you had to make it to the far end of the room. The problem being that there were a certain number of five year olds in the way, all hell bent on killing you.

The question is not how many five year olds could you get through, the question is, how many would it take to kill you.

Think about it. They are small and individually easily bypassed, but together, they would be clinging onto your legs, tripping you up, biting, kicking, punching.


I'll start the game off by saying I think 15 five year olds could kill me. Once they tripped me or dragged me down, I'd be a goner

Really funny thoughts, it must be you Ant! Well just by imagining the way kids act if they are angry, lol and with kicking and punching, it gets worse. I think this game would rather become more of american footy or rugby say, me against a team of five year ol little devils.... Rofl
15 is a good number though

1.... Being in a room with a kid for more then 5 minutes and i'd load a gun for him

Lol nice topic a funny one too LOL, I'm not sure how many probably 5? 5 5 year old kids

Good question haha I could see that being a fruitful conversation topic in the pub! And I'd say 10, maybe 7 big year olds.... Wouldn't be a pretty sight that's for sure!

When pure evil stares you in the face,all you can do is hope they are shorter than your waist.
I could see myself fighting off 10, 5 year olds for maybe 5 minutes at best,before I tire out.Once they take away my footing,I'm dead.The horror!

Hmmm, I'm going to up the stakes here:

The question is, how many small Korean blokes with sticks would it take to kill 1 angry small Korean bloke wielding a regular hammer?

Fortunately you don't have to strain your brain too hard on this one, as this particular scientific test has already been carried out.

Warning: Over 18s Only


(From the awesome movie OldBoy)

None, Just put a cardboard cut out of a five year old and I die from a heart attack...

After much thought and deliberation, I decided it would take about 25 screaming, barbarian 5 year old children to bring me down. Why you might ask? I'm 6'6 with a large wingspan and long legs. I feel these defensive mechanisms would be sufficient to fight off the first 24, but the 25th would be a sneaky bastard and get me in the back

What kind of question is this ant? Lol I think about 10 but not armed I'm not exactly sure they could kill me :S awfully bizzare topic

Question. Can the defendant use one of the 5 year olds as a club to hurl around at the others?

One. Chuckie D:

Ant I think you read too much into Lord of the Flies, I could see how this could come about at the pub though haha. Can they be armed little guys, I mean if they have machetes and scimitars I would probably be say one. Without any weapons I think it would probably take quite a few, I have watched enough Bruce Lee movies to fend off 15 or 20 of the little guys. One kick to the cajones and I am down for the count though, then you might as well stick a fork in me, I'm done

Just an update, they all charge at you together, not one at a time

Well honestly I don't think any amount could kill me not that I'm so strong but I am kinda and seriously cannot even imagine 50 weak 5yo being able to kill me. Weapon wielding 5 year olds that's a different story
