How many 5 year olds could you take on at once?

Ok, so let's say this situation presented its self. You somehow get in a situation where you must defend yourself against a heap of 5 year olds. Here are the specifics.

- youre in an enclosed area, roughly the size of a basketball court. there are no foreign objects.
- youre not allowed to touch a wall.
- when youre knocked unconscious, you lose. when they are all knocked unconscious, they lose. once a kid is knocked unconscious, that kid is "out."
- 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 no 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.

Again, this is purely hypothetical, so how many could you take down before they took you down? I could imagine myself all ninja-like. My answer will come later.

As many five year olds that would dare attempt it within a years time (I would own those noobs hard enough to hold them off until they turned 6 and lost by default). And then, I would give a war cry, and say, "You life-noobs...in what universe could you ever hope to defeat me?...mwahahahahahahahahaha.

No, in all seriousness, in hand-to-hand combat, I'd say 47, if I was in "kill mode".

Wow, How does one really know their own strength and abilities against a fairly unknown quantity. Do these kids read comics, have they studied my strengths and proficiencies? Do they know that I studied under wolverine for 3yrs and carry +50 freezing potion at all times? In an enclosed space my potions will decimate the population... Bring on as many as you can.

Ps. I have no idea what i'm talking about, I'd probably just bring candy with benadryl in it, hehe. PHARMACEUTICALS RULE!

Excellent question. and remember cheaters always win.

I was Shuga Shane for the like three days once. Best three days of my life, I was on top of the world!!!
