    The only thing more funny than this question is the amount of time I have spent contemplating my serious answer, which has still resulted in no solid answer except that it is probably lower than I believe it to be!

    as well as a certified axe fighter
    Where does one get this certification? Is there a sanctioning body?

    Ok, so you can't touch a wall, but what happens when the little swarm of locusts push you in that direction?

    Are you out immediately

    i'm blocked at work from looking at that thread, so I don't know if it's been brought up, but could I, for example, use a fat kid as a bat?

    I think 30-40 sounds unreasonable, just due to the shear weight of all those kids.

    Lets say I pick up Fatty McGee and start swinging him around, I could take out a good number, but it still doesn't preclude 10 other kids knocking me over by just bom rushing me from a blindside.

    And as TC said, they have teeth, and at that age, would use 'em.

    Maybe if I kicked a few kids in the nuts early on, intimidation would be a factor?

    And bucksfan is correct, the premise is hilarious, I've been sitting here for 25-30 minutes figuring out a strategy.

    You'd have to have pretty good aim. Those suckers are the size of raisins at that age and trying to get your foot in there takes a lot of effort.

    Believe me.

    Well, I'm guessing the size of my foot, if I get it in the area, could at least put a little fear into 'em.

    But then again, if I'm rearing up to really kick some kid in the jewels, that's when 5 of them could be coming around my backside to jump on me.

    I think this has the makings of the next "great" reality show.

    Reality because, you know, this type of stuff happens all the time right?

    I don't know if it will happen or not, but I'm sure it's something TV execs have been "kicking around".

    A very sick coworker just thought of something - eye gouges.

    That could be a very effective method.

    The average 5 year old weighs 45 lbs.

    Ten of them together = 450 lbs.

    Twenty of them = 900 lbs.

    I doubt anyone could withstand a bum rush of 20 of those little buggers.

    At the very least, they would push you into a wall, causing you to violate the rules of the contest and lose by default.

    Question about the rules - does the 'wall' rule go both ways? If you sling a kid or 10 into the wall, does that knock them out of the competition?

    Final question - I know that death is not the objective, but is there a penalty?

    No way 20 of 'em could hit me at one time, at least from one side, and if they hit me from all sides, I'd pretty much have to stand my ground, or if I fell over I'd probably crush one or two of 'em.
