Sometimes when you read about education issues all day you starting thinking things like, “How many 5-year olds could I beat up before they finally got the best of me?”
And sometimes there’s a resource out there that’ll give you the answer.
How Many Five Year Olds Could You Take in a Fight?
Here are the ground rules:
- You are in an enclosed area roughly the size of a basketball court
- There are no weapons or foreign objects
- Everyone is wearing a cup (so no kicks to the groin)
- The children are merciless and will show no fear
- If a child is knocked unconscious, he is “out.” The same goes for you.
My favorite question:
During the fight, would you feel morally comfortable picking up a child and using him/her as a weapon to throw at other children?
28 for me! Feel free to take the quiz and post your results.

They’re up front with that extra link - excellent. Sneaky link tactics stink.

I remember having this discussion with a friend of mine a couple years ago. Another guy couldn’t stomach the idea of fighting five-year-olds, so the parameters were changed to robots with the strength and ability of five-year-olds. I guess it makes it more morally palatable. It was the inspiration behind the naming of a website actually - youthinspiredrobots.com (not my website… just pointing it out).
My result: 17 of the little punks before they would overtake me.

Where the heck do you find this stuff??? ROFL
According to this, I can take on 17 of the little terrors. Heck, I’m a mom of twins… I take on double terrors every day! LOL

Heh, funny… I just stumbled upon this meme last night.
Twenty-six for me… looks like I need to start going to the gym more.

I think everyone’s had this thought - at least briefly - after seeing that episode of Seinfeld where Kramer takes on the karate class.

Like with a car accident, I wanted to look.
But alas, the website gets eaten by district filters.

Weird…I wanted to see how many I could take, but when I get to “OK I’m finished. What’s my score?” it takes me to some online dating service.
I think I’d prefer beating up kindergarteners.
