What do you think that happens when the lion locks down on one midget with his teeth, the other 39 will just stand there in a line to wait for the lion to finish? But I'd hate to be one of the midgets, because a good part of them will get injured severly before the lion gives up.

The ranks of the midget force would quickly break in fear, any 5 minute strategy would fall apart and the midgets would be massacred.

uh, the midgets would fuckin annihilate the lion
10 midgets would beat a lion i think
40 midgets could just jump on it and it couldnt move


as for being too afraid to fight, the conditions specifically state that the midgets know they have to fight. i'm basing my position that they actually do fight even if they do it poorly.

the midgets would have to use teamwork, the combined weight would be enough to pin the lion to the ground then they would proceed to either a) bite open the lions jugular vein b) strangle the lion although this would be harder since i think midgets arms might be too short and to weak c) repeatedly kick the lion till internet bleeding causes it to die.

Midgets win by default. The lion would grow tired from killing them, and of killing them. They could all just disperse around the court once the lion is tired.
SC is like sex. You should play often, but never too hard. And you should only try hard when it matters.

Reminds me of the man vs dog thread lol.

With 40 midgets....I'd say the midgets. 40 is a lot of people.

Am I the only one that is getting hilarious mental pictures? Of midgets being chased by a lion, or midgets beating a lion with their tiny arms.

There is absolutely no way in fucking hell that the midgets would win. A lion could probably kill 40 untrained fully grown non-midget men. Lions are furious balls of death, insanely strong, and they can dart around - therein avoiding the ridiculous idea of the midgets being able to jump on it in a coordinated attack. Every time the lion touches a midget, that's a fatality or a serious wound. Every time the Lion gets punched or kicked, that's a barely registrable stroke. Lions can survive gunshot wounds, they could definitely survive midget punches.

I think it really depends on the initial set-up.

If all the midgets are coming at the lion from one direction, I think the lion would win. It's much faster, has very long reach, and could probably swipe several midgets at a time.

If the midgets are allowed to start with a surround, they have a good chance. Their combined weight is probably about 1600 kg, to the lion's 250 kg.

40 midgets couldn't possibly lose that, doesn't matter if a lion is infinitely much stronger than the midgets, 40 is still way too many to deal with at the same time.

Also, somewhat related. Would you rather fight a cobra without your hands or a tiger with a bat?

He said cobra without your hands.

Which is better lol. You don't beat a cobra with your hands, you try to stomp on it behind its head.

Midgets would win if they did what I say.
8 after each leg, and 8 after the head. Each midget only focus on holding one part. Even if the lion somehow manages to mangle more than half of the midgets in a short amount of time you still have 2/3 midgets grabbing onto each limb and head. From there they could pin it and pummel it to death. I don't think a lion could fling off the weight of 15 midgets once they grab on.

I feel like if midgets can strategize, they win. if not, lion wins. it matters how they use their 5 minutes.

If the midgets were organised they would win, but I don't know if they ever would be. They don't have training to stay calm and that 5 minutes of stratagising will go out the window the second the lion attacks.

Also a full grown lion is huge and extremely tough, I don't think punching and kicking would do anything and even it was doing damage the lion would contunue to fight until it physically couldn't any more.

With organisation they should be able to win though, 35 midgets must be enough to pin a lion down if it was distratracted by trying to eat the 5 sacraficial ones, and then they could eventually strangle it.

There is no way that forty midgets can accomplish in five minutes what professional drill takes years to accomplish in an army, and even then hardened soldiers buckle and run when isolated or exposed to direct artillery fire. A lion prancing into their midst would have the midgets scatter like butterflies.

Midgets easily. People are seriously underestimating the strength of humans.
