If one 4 1/2 year old grandson can launch five foot stream of urine from where he stands to the base of a tree, how many 80-year-old grandfathers would it take to equal the performance?
Some answers: a) 20 (tag team line of grampas each contributing 4"). b) does it count if I hurl my Depends? c) I know the answer but I forgot.
The way you have posed the problem, it's unanswerable. You could take all the grampas in the world, force-feed them litres of waters 'til the cows come home, and -- with all competitors toeing the same line -- not one of them will be able to achieve the required distance. But the TV coverage would be terrific.

20 men each contributing 4” is a close guess but a bit on the optimistic side. In last year’s Geriatric Games held here in enlightened, open-minded Toronto, the Men’s 5-Foot Urinary Relay was won by the Rusholme team (“the Yellow Tide”) with a record low of 24.
