Fictional Fighting With Five-Year Olds

Posted by Brett Singer

How many five year olds can you take in a fight? The answer may surprise you. Hopefully you don't already know the answer.

This dopey web quiz provides a few seconds of mirth with minimal effort.

The site, created by Matthew Inman for the dating service Mingle2, asks you a series of questions, such as, "Which best describes your sense of balance: 1) I'm not very balanced, I sometimes have trouble standing on one foot or staying upright on a snowboard or exercise ball…", "Do you have any experience fighting swarms, such as being chased by a bunch of pissed-off bees or playing starcraft against the Zerg?" and " Have you ever been trampled? (by a horse, at a rock concert, etc)"

The third page of the quiz is vaguely thought provoking. "How would you feel about the fact that you're fighting a bunch of kids?" "During the fight, would you feel morally comfortable picking up a child and using him/her as a weapon to throw at other children?" Presumably the number of kids required to take you down will increase if you answer "To hell with morality, I'd be too busy pile-driving, crane-kicking, and bare-knuckle bashing them all the way back to kintergarten [sic]" as opposed to "This is so wrong - these are children for pete's sake. I don't think I could fight them, even in self defense."

After you answer everything to the best of your ability, you are presented with a number. That number is How Many Five Year Olds Could Take You In A Fight. My number was 15:

By the way, don't feel like you have to join Mingle2 to get your result. It looks that way, but if you look at the smaller text just below the big "JOIN NOW" banner, you'll see that you can click there and just find out how strong/wimpy you are without actually re-entering the dating pool.

So what's your number?
