Although I see some persuasive arguments, I'd have to say the only people that may truly have a chance in a fight scenario such as this would be parents and grade school teachers.  Only a person who has access to children as much as those 2 classes of people do, would have insight in not only their mental state but physicality as well.

Parents of course having the advantage over teachers as they have access to the children on a 24 hour basis. In short, what I think I'm getting at is: I win.

We can speculate, hypothesize, theorize, guess, postulate, and rationalize this all we want.  Until someone actual does this, every number is open to being right/wrong.

Enjoy this for what it is... a cathartic fantasy... much like KR. :)

36 for me too Steve.

I don't care how much they weigh or how many there are. 

Sheer intimidation would buy me some hesitation from a few of them while I would be using more elbows and knees than a mui-tai cage fighter.  Not to menton the viscus sheen of human matter splattered about me would make them slip into an easy close by stomping position.  I think I would forgo using a whole being as a weapon and use a leg or an arm if anything.

Sadly, only 31.

While Wally's point certainly has merit, I think it sorely underestimates how much damage a 5 year old can take.  One hit per kid and they are down.

agreed you made it up.. now onto prevcious points, yes 5 year olds use swarm tactics, we as adults know this and can adapt, pick one up and hurl him like a rock at several other takeng the bunch out at once.. it did specifically ask about using the children (and their dismemberd limbs) as weapons against the other children.. and again morals, ethics and decency all come into play here. if you are morraly banikrupt and ethically devoid you can take a bunch of kids out.. also remember many may well just run away when they see their best friend get his/her/their leg torn off and smacked in the face with...
if taking that a 5 year old weight 40 lbs i can take them two at a time as i can curl 40 lbs with each arm. the key point is how unscrupulous are youwilling to be against a bunch of 5 year olds

If you can tear a 5 year olds arm or leg off, more power to you.

ALex,

Are you for real?  Since you can curl 40 pounds in each arm you can lift up two at once?  Let me guarantee you one thing, when you grab at a 5 year old he's not going to be quite as passive as a weight is going to be.  He's going to be thrashing and biting.  My 2 and a half year old godson weighs only 25 pounds and if he doesn't want you to carry him, you aren't going to carry him.  Also, like Alex said (not ALex...just plain Alex) if you can tear off a five hear olds arm/leg I applaud you...but I think it's impossible for you to do so.  Especially when you have 20 of the little hellions jumping on your back attempting to remove his arm from the socket.

Tiriel,

This isn't WoW so you can't hit them with MS or PoM Pyro them...so I think you better readjust your number to something more in your caliber.  How does...3.4 sound :P

Well, as I am a Paladin, I find my self with three options:

If I am Holy, I simply Consecrate and heal myself.

If I am Prot, I grind them to death.

If I am Ret (and I am), then I hit SoC, CS every time it's up, and use JoW, for longevity.

No matter how you slice it it = dead 5 year olds.

All of them.

again your points are valid wally but there is a big diffrence between picking up and carrying  an unruly 5 year old and just grabbing them by their clothes, hair, arm, leg, neck and hurling them a their cohorts with it.

point 2, I was being exaggerationally graphic with the comment about "tearing their limbs off and beatting them with it" perhaps broken bones and dislocated joints would be more like it.

point 3, Alex, thank you for pointing that error in the website to me it was unintentional, i find it curious however as to why you chose this place and time being public as it is to mention such, making me seem a fool, it seems to me this is not the first time you have done such, and i wonder why again you made mention of such in such a public venue as opposed to telling me about it in a PM. curious... curious indeed.

point 4. T; if one is a Holy spec pally.. you heal the warrior doing the fighting FOR you

point 5; I delcare SHENANIGANS!
