Yeah--the real difference between a 5 year old and an aduly is the adult's ability to design and execute a complex plan. And I do mean execute.
Now who am I going to share these pretty drawings with? [Frown]

23. If only I had known this on Halloween. I could have wound up with a lot of candy.

psh. 5 year-olds don't hold too much candy... but I guess 23 of them might net you a fair haul.

13. And I fudged a little on how ruthless I would be. I'd probably try to reason with them, and then redirect their behavior to something more appropriate.

I'm like a living refutation of Darwin's theory of Survival of the Fittest.

I didn't take the test, but...I have trouble imagining why so many 5-year-olds are so willing to attack me all at the same time.

I can take hard hits fairly well, so toe-to-toe with people that size isn't a problem. Knocking me down won't work. I'll start biting whoever is close enough, and I'll bite hard enough to get them off of me.

OTOH, drug-crazed 5-year-olds might be a problem. They might not care if I bite off ears.

I would probably just outrun them all anyway. I'm pretty fast over a short distance, and have good wind for longer distances.

28 5-year-olds, 53% on the zombies. The zombies worry me a little more. Pressure point knockouts won't work on them, I'm guessing, and neither will pain-infliction techniques. Maybe at least they're blindable. If not, I mean, you can only run for so long. You have to take a breather sometime.

It's good to know, though, that my dead body is worth $6190.

Bless his heart, he's half blind.

For this 5 year old thing, I think everyone is forgetting that a 5 year old has teeth. Their punches and kicks may not be that effective, but their little chompers will take a chunk out of you if they get a chance. All they have to do is go for your legs, and no amount of "drop kicking" is going to help you.

The first five year old to bite me gets his teeth knocked out, and that's only the beginning. We'll see how many decide to follow his heroic, yet ultimately foolish lead.

Edit to add: I hadn't read the setup of the situation on the quiz prior to posting. Thus, this post and my previous post are invalidated. Fear doesn't much help. That said, kids can't plan ahead, and you can objectively eliminate anyone who tries to organize. Unless Ender, Bean, and Co. are around, I'm not sure there's an upper bound. Knees and elbows.

I rate 31 5-year olds. Not bad. It really isn't hard to crush the ribcage of somebody that young. I'm also not at all worried about the teeth issue. I usually wear fairly heavy hiking boots and jeans, so any kid attacking me is going to get the wind knocked out of him before his teeth get anywhere close to hurting me.

Even though it would probably take more than one hit to truly knock out or kill a 5-year old, after one solid hit they are pretty much a dead weight, albeit with some ability to crawl. Once you get them in that state, I'd say just move away or trample them.

I also rate 76% chance of survival of a zombie attack.

Can I just say how much I love the fact that the ad at the bottom is for something called "kidcomplishment"?

I think I scored a 70% on the zombies (took it last week, and didn't make a point of remembering the score), but I probably lied about how much I'd do to try to help others, so I expect my actual score would be lower.

I already know from personal experience that it takes just 3 5-year olds to kick my tuchus.

31, but only because I'm not willing to waste time with pile drivers and things. I'd do whatever was necessary to knock the kids out, then leave them be. No reason to waste energy on fancy-pants moves when a quick punch to the head will do.

I'd take the biggest kid and swing him around. Then everyone else would want me to do them, and then I'd probably die from exhaustion in about 45 minutes. That said, it gave me 25.

See, we have weekly training sessions called "tickle fights" where everyone in the family takes turns getting held down and tickled by everyone else. My brother says that's not really a "fight" per se. It started when we were on diets and couldn't have sweets for Family Home Evening.
