who would win in a fight?

[RazoE]

This was asked on ToyotaNation, just wondering what you guys think...

no stupid loop holes, like the chlorine in the pool kills the shark, or the kids have rocket launchers..

just 5th graders with the clothes off their backs, and standard, healthy, adult Grizzlies/Shark...

150 5th graders or two grizzly bears?

150 5th graders or a great white shark in an olympic sized swimming pool?


here are my theories, both go to the kids...

it's 2 bears at the same time, with 150 kids, you'd assume a 75:1 ratio with the bears and the kids...

but if the children were smart, they'd send 125 kids to one bear, QUICKLY overpowering it, and killing it, while the other 25 tease the other bear and dodge/avoid it long enough for the other kids to finish off bear #1, then all 150 rush the other bear, finishing it off..

the shark however, may simply be too tough. Its skin is nearly impenetrable, and if the kids are bare-handed, they just simply don't have the power to hit hard under the water. The resistance is too high. While the shark wont mangle every kid, they just wont do enough damage to it to consider it a win. Well, it would be possible, if the kids latched on again, and held the shark in a position to where it cant move, because sharks need to have moving water going through their gills to breathe, if a shark stops moving, it'll drown. So the kids would win, if they can pin the shark down.

hahahahaha i just laughed for a good couple minutes. Kids win on bears but not great white shark.

 

[SupraMario]

LOL, this reminded me of the family guy thing, with peter asked brian a riddle.

 

[suprarx7nut]

Maybe if the kids just held the gills shut?

I doubt either way they have a shot

 

[sancho886]

I think after the shark tore up a few kids, the water would be too dark with blood for the kids to see anything.

Then the shark would pick them off at his leisure ::hang::

A shark's belly is soft and a knife would rip it open easily.
And also you could punch it in the nose.

But you see that's the thing, the kids are unarmed and the water resistance versus the punch of your average 5th grader doesnt add up to enough damage to subdue the shark long enoiugh for the kids to grab on..

You must also take into consideration that a great white can leap feet into the air out of the water, and at well over 4000lbs, it lands with a mighty impact. The tail alone is strong enough to decapitate your average diver....



Makes you think...

There is a reason why human beings are at the top of the food chain. 10 year old kids aren't dumb. They would figure out something - like standing around the swimming pool and watching while the shark starves to death, or draining the pool - neither of which is terribly difficult.

The bears would be tougher, and you could expect to lose some kids in the process, but I think the end result would be a foregone conclusion.

well, the kids can link hands to feet and form a ring with thier bodies around the sharks gills...if you get what im saying here, and eventually suffocate it or! the can put thier hands in the gills and rip stuff out which will make the shark panic and eventually die.

thats all I am doing right now....

I'm really thinking that the kids, even in a survival situation, would not know what to do other than scream and cry. I also do not think that they would have the focus to overcome their fear and actually DO something. This isn't "Lord of the Flies", it's "Shark in a Pool". Those kids would be b0wned.

 

[suprahero]

Grizzlies would win hands down. There's nothing an unarmed fifth grader could do to a grizzlie to hurt it. Even a hundred of them couldn't do anything to hurt one. He would literally throw them around like rag dolls. There's also no way you're going to talk a bunch of fifth graders into charging a grizzly and try to subdue or kill it. It just isn't happening.

I think they'd have less of a chance against the great white. It wouldn't be very pretty.

 

[Murd]

The kids would win, both the bear and shark would gorge themselves to the point thier innards explode before they ran out of kids.

Not really... Most animals don't like the taste of human flesh.. or so I'm told..

 

[RazoE]

Those are all valid points, but you forget a shark is slippery, and its scales have a directional grain that WILL skin you if rubbed the wrong way. All can also thrust his tail and unless those children's arms are held on with adamantium joints, someone's arm is coming off...

Bears are tough, but they aren't smart, and can actually be scared off quite easily. Maybe as the bear retreats, the kids can jump on it, tripping it and then subduing the mofo....

 

[souprat]

i'm with drunkmedic and suprahero, the 5th graders would be too scared to do anything.

and if they wernt then i'm still having a hard time trying to picture a 5th grader getting their little hands or arms around the throat of a grizzly to strangle it. i think the best course of action would be to sacrafice a few of themselves then choke the animal with the leftover parts that wernt eaten.

and the shark would just own. humans arnt great swimmers.

 

[ret]

Can 150 kids fit with enough room for the shark to swim freely in an Olympic size pool? They may be able to just swarm to the shark and prohibit it from moving, suffocating it.

For the bears, I think they could be overcome. 75 kids rushing one bear at once.. it could do a lot of damage to a few kids, but sheer numbers would make it nearly impossible.

Then again, 10 year olds are dumb.

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Kids would lose no matter what.

 

[mkiiSupraMan18]

The things people will argue about...

Does this include those 'not smarter than a 5th grader'? Because I know SM could take down quite a few bears/sharks/manbearpigs :icon_bigg

 

[starscream5000]

For the record, not all sharks suffocate when not moving, some actually sleep that way. Do any you actually watch the discovery channel?

 

[Supra]

I think the kids in the pool would piss themselves. Is piss toxic to sharks?
