Swarms are proven as effective in nature time and time again. Think bees, piranhas, and wolves attacking the moose. The pack wins, and it's only a matter of time. More five year olds just means that you go down quicker.

There seems to be two groups here: the 15ish group and the 40ish group.
I'm going to go in between and say 30.
I would be using a lot of the windmill technique, kicking, and cheap shots.
I think RawDog could take on at least 75. I heard he's ripped. And dreamy. :-*
does kicking a 5 year old in the junk have the same effect that kicking a 25 year old in the junk does?
You'd need to limit their access to your backside, get to a wall or corner .. and start landing blows quickly.
Take a look at the illustration below. Even if you were cornered, Only five or six could surround you at once, assuming you did nothing to get away.
A 5 year old, one decent crack on the head is going to send them crying and stunned.
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 not sure about the 5 year old you hang around, but the ones I know look nothing like your illustrations. I think there's a good possibility that you'd have 3 latched onto each leg (6 total). And latched on TIGHT. Add an extra 120 lbs to each leg and you're not kicking ANYTHING.
I know this thread is about 3 months old, but someone sent me a website that can answer the question of how many 5 years you can fight, http://www.howmanyfiveyearoldscouldyoutakI have a toothachefight.com/ (http://www.howmanyfiveyearoldscouldyoutakI have a toothachefight.com/)
When I posted this thread orginally, I was firm on the number 40, but after breaking it down with the board I decided that 30 was realistic, turns out the website thinks I am good for about 33 5 year olds!
ziggyfrybaby beat up daddy by kicking him in the nutsack. tower456 (1/2 of 912) dropped daddy like a stone today in the store when he was swinging his 13 month old feet in the cart and daddy wasn't paying attention and baby tower connected square with the creators of baby tower. Kind of embarrassing to drop to a knee for a few seconds in the middle of Costco. And then requiring every bit of focus to stand up straight and breathe.

This tread is AMAZING. To answer the question I think I could take 40 and I'm pretty confident about that. My plan would be to start of with some Kevin Nash big boots right to the face of any little rascal that charged at me. No question they'd be on the ground unconscious. Next I'd start thowing some haymakers around to knock some of these kids out. By then a good amount of them would be eliminated and I'd start rocking some choke-slams. I'm 6'3 185 so if I grab a 5 year old and choke slam him he might end up dieing rather than being knocked out. If anymore remained they wouldn't stand a chance.
I don't want to hijack this thread because I love it, but a question my roommates and I always discussed at MU was: If there was a World War 3, but only fist fighting who would win? I say American because yes Russia is crazy and the Chinese outnumber us but we can send our Military, the NFL, NBA, NCAA athletes, Boxers, UFC guys, prison inmates, etc at them and then leave the rest of their malnourished citizens to average Joe's like you and I.
Good question, might also depend on who get's home field advantage. If that were the case, Brazil could be a dark horse, forcing folks to come fight in the Amazon. Indonesia, could spread out the world warriors over thousands of islands. And who knew, Indonesia was the 4th most populous country in the world!
So yeah, I am gonna think through for a long time.
the Irish will still be standing strong, drinking whiskey and fighting with each other.*The reason the Irish fight among themselves is the lack of a worthy opponent.
Which would you rather fight: a horse sized duck or 100 duck sized horses?

I would just stand on a table until they fall asleep.
The video below answers nothing in regards to this discussion, but it does show the power of numbers and getting tired, thanks Japan for being just odd enough to put this together:
3 Olympian fencing masters VS 50 opponents!!!

Here's a new one from the team that brought you "how many 5 year olds" (presumably)...
Consider a 40 y/o couple that has been married for 15 years. Which do you find more disturbing:
1) The man going back in time 25 years specifically to sleep with his 15 y/o wife,
2) The wife going back 25 years specifically to sleep with 15 y/o him, or
3) Neither
Caveat: Finding '1' and '2' equally disturbing is not an option.
Hint: The answer isn't as obvious as it seems on the surface.... this one requires some thought.

It didn't go well at all for this teacher:https://news.yahoo.com/florida-teacher-beaten-hospitalized-attack-162747938.html
I'm impressed that you remembered an 8 year old thread
The hard part was finding it!
The great SEARCH function on this site won't even allow a search for "5 year old".
