The question: How many 5 year-olds could you take on at once?
The specifics:
- You are in an enclosed area, roughly the size of a basketball court. There are no foreign objects.
- You are not allowed to touch a wall.
- 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.”
- 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.
- 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.
- There is no protective padding for any combatant other than the standard-issue cup.
* 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 set my magic number at 30, but upon reflection, I think I could take on a few more. How many could you take on?

After taking a schilacking in the first round (neither of my upsets won, and 3 of my favourites lost), I’m back in round 2 for more punishment!
Here are my round 2 playoff bets:
Pit to beat Mtl – $50 to win $11.11 (if possible, I’d bet the farm on this series)
Phi to beat Bos – $50 to win $65
Det to beat SJ – $50 to win $50
Van to beat Chi – $50 to win $60
Pit and Phi to win – $50 to win $90
Det and Van to win – $50 to win $165
