How many?

[zorander]

When i was a small lad, if i used too much squash in my glass or put too much jam on my toast, my gran would scold me and say something like "you've got enough there to feed a small army!"

Ever had anyone say something like that to you? How silly!

Anyway, i was thinking....

Just how many people does it take to make a "small Army"?

[Evastio]

It would probably only take one, fat fleshy person.

[oddler]

One of each unit? I give up.

[Bunny]

Approximately 562 people.

[Martyr]

Approximately 562 people.

Don't listen to these lies!

It is exactly 562 people.

[Christmas]

When they are enough people to finish the jam. :bigsmile:

[Nominus Experse]

Many, many frogs make an army

Please tell me you caught the joke in that saying...

[Owen Macwere]

When they are enough people to finish the jam. :bigsmile:

Smart, Masmas always solve the mistery. :bigsmile:

I been told that by mum when I was young she used to say it to me when ever I put too much butter on my toast. I love butter. :cry:

38.2

the .2 is a small child of average weight.

IF this is a literal question here is a literal answer. A perfect platoon in the US Army would be 17 people. Mulitply that by 4 which gives you 68 and add 1 for a commanding officer so 69. I say that is a good enough small army.

Now on the other hand....those ghosties in pacman are only 4 of them and they seem to be a small army.

I get that off my dad for using too much ketchup / jam / butter etc. I also get "You want some dinner with your ketchup".

Assuming that a small army is akin to a small angle, if we make a small angle approximation, we can get sina = a. This only works for angles of less than 10 degrees, so I'd estimate that a small army is no more than 10 people. :p

What the fuck? Squash in a glass? You must be from Britain.

[Araciel]

at least two people.

Where exactly are you getting your numbers? Platoons usually consist of thirty or forty soldiers each.

Ya, 17 is usually a section or something but lesser at least for the military in my country. :bigsmile:

[Timerk]

3: Tank, Healer, and CC.

[Rocket Edge]

It would take 8 strappers (Strapping men).

[Jess]

It depends on the size of the other army! :jess:

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

One. The General.

[~*~Celes~*~]

Chuck Norris is all the army you need :bigsmile:
