This doesn't answer the question we're all wondering..

This time the gorillas have friends. 100 gorillas could definitely kill an unarmed dude. Actually one Dunbar number of gorillas vs one Dunbar number of humans could be a good spin on this meme.

  100 gorillas could definitely kill the most well armed dude

    Armaments have a pretty high top end. If I'm armed with a missile-launching submarine, I'm confident that 100 gorillas will never be able to touch me.

      I think they were probably limiting armaments to things you could carry in your arms. Which would make it a lot harder.

        I could carry a bicycle, a backpack of bullets, and some kind of rifle… I think it really depends on the specifics of the scenario (how far apart do we start and is it flat ground?)

      We’d have to set some bounds here. I think one guy would have trouble operating a submarine. Tanks are typically crewed of course… but in theory, a guy could patiently go around and man every station… I wonder if 100 sufficiently motivated gorillas could damage a tank from the outside.

        If you want to consider armaments that are routinely crewed by one guy, a bomber will have the same property of being easily capable of killing all 100 gorillas at the same time that they lack the ability to even try to attack it.

        Yah. My main answer is a man on a bicycle with a rifle and a backpack full of bullets. Somehow having a powered vehicle seems against the spirit of the thing, although really is it just a fundamentally silly topic anyway!

Life really answers that question for you. If you are successful and established, friendship often means obligation. Money, skill, resources and effort are requested, sometimes politely, sometimes not. If you are not successful and established, finding someone to engage in this relationship can provide significant advantage. Some might say "a real friend would not ask such things, what you speak of are fairweather friends." I would reply, "have you ever found your perfect equal in a friendship?" I haven't. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/fair-weather_friend https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/fair-weather_friend

  A real friend will help me fight a gorilla whether there are 100 of us or not

    When you say "I could fight that Gorilla on my own no problem", a real friend would say "yeah you definitely could, but I got your back"

  > have you ever found your perfect equal in a friendship In my experience, if you somehow keep some of your close friends that you had early in life, some of them end up eerily similar to you late in life.

    I am working towards being an expatriate in my retirement, so that really isn't an option.

100 men win. But some of them aren't going to make it
