The Greatest Philosophical Question of Our Time

I... have some troubling news. Like, I'm sure, the rest of you, I had been assuming that this test was the product of the latest, most accurate scientific reasearch. With that in mind, I wondered how an exceptionally-wimpy 5-year-old would do on the test, and I re-ran the test giving answers as if I were, in fact, the afore-mentioned exceptionally-wimpy 5-year-old. Imagine my shock when I found that, according to the test, an exceptionally-wimpy 5-year-old can, in fact, take 4 normal 5-year-olds in a fight! Clearly, the test is, in some way, flawed.

I realize that this is intensely desturbing news. It seems we may need to seek our answers elsewhere- or, perhaps, aknowledge that some questions are essentially unanswerable.

Well, Alaric, the test seems perfectly valid to me: If the defending kid is both wimpy and reading this scientific test (not bad for a zero-grader), then, quite logically, he must be an uber-nerd. As such, it's only reasonable to assume that he can use his hyper-big (latent mutant?) brain to K.O. bigger kids by headbashing them.

For the record, I got 17... Mind you, my score would probably be much higher if I were myself the parent of a five year old – I probably wouldn't have any compunction against playing dirty and using *$#@! brats as projectiles. ;)

Mowgli

As an elementary school teacher, I have often pondered this question...

29.

It's a relief to know that number is higher than the head count in any of my kindergarten or first grade classes.

Have to get that moral compass adjusted (and work out).

You could take on 33 five year old kids in a fight.

im happy to know ill be able to defend myself to such a common danger

Sgt. Friday

30 5 year olds.  :thumbup:

And like Figure Fan, I to have a sudden compulsion to chuck one of the little brats at a horde of the little buggers!  :twisted:

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?"

24.
My physical limitations were overcome by a big gaping whole where my morality should be...

Mr. Cow

i could only take 23 five year olds.. but if i got DYAM and BWPS with me we'd take down every 5 year old on the planet! (and that includes spud with them) :thumbup:

murs47

I got 24, but in reality it would be zero. The idea of a group of merciless and violent 5 year olds would have me laughing until they knocked me unconscious.

Intensity

I got 30... but only because my morality scores held me back.  First and foremost, before being a martial artist... I am a teacher.  Unless the kids had turned into zombies, or if they were also killing/beating up other people, I wouldn't necessarily fight them with my best.  This survey made me sad, because my martial arts school is closed this week and I miss teaching my kids.  :(

lol.

I got 23 too....I feel horrible. 

What a night on the town it would make if I was dating X-23 (according to the dating test) and we got mobbed by five year olds.....do you think she would be impressed?

nah, she'd probably leave you for me.

I got 31, but then I'm elderly - in my prime I could proudly take on entire battalions of ankle-biters.  ;)
