Who would you beat first? #1 (permalink) Thu Jan 05, 2012 11:18 am   Who would you beat first?
 

Let's pretend you are a martial art expert. You are surrounded by 5 men each has a power of 50,40,30,20 and 10 of yours. Your power is 100 only. You cannot beat them at the same time to break through them.

Who would you beat first, then?

In basic martial art technique you have to beat the weakest first.

But I always beat the strongest one first. Why?

Just a Jet li kind of thought.

kind regards.

I'm sorry to hear that you had the flu! I hope you recovered quickly.

It is very difficult to beat five men when you have the flu.

You need to give us more details. If I beat the guy with 50 points, will I use up 50 points of my own strength and so on? Do I need to beat them all to survive or is it enough to just beat as many as I can and then run away?

My dear Claudia and Kyaw! thanks for consolation. It is nice to find a little sympathy when lying in bed you are not able to solve such a complicated exercise.

Dear Claudia and Alicja,

Sorry for my poor English. The thing is there's no limit or whatever, you just have to chose who are you going to beat first and break through or terminate them, in terms of their individual strength. But beating only one and the rest of them are still chasing you is not a good idea? This is a funny kinda decision making and tactics test to myself as well.

kind regards.
Kyaw.

If you beat the strongest one first, that may demoralize the rest of them, and they may stop menacing you. On the other hand, they may all gang up on you at once.

Beat the ring leader first, whether he is the strongest or the weakest, because if the group loses their motivating force, they may walk away.

I would beat 50, 40, and 10. With 0 points of strength left, but with my 100 points of stamina (Hahaaa!!! I'm a real good runner), I would give 30 and 20 the finger and then run as fast and far as my legs can take me. Having been shown the finger and seeing how well I can still run even after such a viscous and exhausting fight, 30 and 20 would assume that I have plenty of strength left to beat them, and not take any more chances.

Thank you very much Jamie and Claudia,

I would decide and do so as you would. Their strongest one only has half of my strength although their combined strength is 50 per cent bigger than me. If I beat the strongest one first, they'll have 100 that is the same strength of mine. At second time I'll beat 40 one and after he falls they have 60 percent only when I have 100. Seeing their strongest ones fall, they would run away or surrender as your followers. If they don't, I'll beat them all at the same time or one by one. No sweat!

I know you are a great runner Claudia, but you don't have to run now.lol. You are always a safety first. So am I.
Thanks again, now I know I'm thinking right. It's kinda like risk management as well?

kind regards.
