We just conducted the following balance/flexibility experiment in the office.
Take a sheet of A4 paper, now fold it in half across the width of the paper. Place the paper on the floor, with the fold in it it should be able to stand up.
Stand on the floor behind the paper, stand on your right leg with the left leg bend behind you. Grab your right leg with your left hand (behind not in front)
Now bend forward until your face is level with the piece of paper and pick it up with your teeth.
Now who can do it?
I think this game (or a similar one...) was played a summer BBQ held by Dai...
I didn't even bother to enter
Left leg off the floor completely?
Nope, can't do it.
Yup, you should be standing on one leg, with the other bend behind you being held by the opposite hand.
However you can try with the other leg. I can do it both on my right and left leg, but find it much easier on my left leg. Oh and I swear it was easier on Saturday, but maybe that was due to the amount of Sangria was drinking
Yes; both sides, but standing on left leg is easier.
just imagining the looks on the faces of the others in my office if I was to try this right now.... they already think I'm nuts with all the dancing I do
Yah.
Well, I put the piece of paper on my desk and I still couldn't do it.
I can recite pi to 31 places, though...
After several attempts (and having realised I had the paper the wrong way, I had it fold point up like a little tent!) I just about managed it on left leg. Can't do it on right (yet). Reaching the paper isn't the tough part, its getting back up again, tendancy just to keep going forwards!
we played this at blaze with a cereal box!
Mezzo is Currently sitting in Forum A&E with Beo.....nose bleeding and a broken leg....
IN reality....just tried this... fell on the floor
Are you supposed to keep your standing leg straight? If so, then I can't do it after all, as I need to bend it.
