Okay so bear with me here..
Okay this is going to sound extremely morbid and psychotic on my part but i came across an online message board where they were discussing something very peculiar, a bit fucked up, and curiously interesting.
The basic question sounds simple and cruel: How many 5 year-olds could you take on in a physical fight at the same time? That is until the people on the boards drafted an outline of rules for an actual '5 year old beating event'
Rule 1: You are in an enclosed area, roughly the size of a basketball court. There are no foreign objects.
Rule 2: You are not allowed to touch a wall.
Rule 3: 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."
Rule 4: 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.
Rule 5: 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.
Rule 6: There is no protective padding for any combatant other than the standard-issue cup.
Rule 7: 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.
I’m thinking that I could take about 15-20 children assuming that they know how to team up and mob you, I estimate they weigh like 50lbs each so if they just all jumped on me at the same time without me moving away from them that would be 1,000lbs on pulling me down, and once I went down that would be it. However, if I were to keep mobile and take a few out a time I think that I would be able to thin down their numbers gradually and eventually take them all out before i got too tired to run around more.
*disclaimer* I would not hurt any children, this is strictly hypothetical(as much as i do hate small children.
