I challenge you to go ten minutes, as verified by a YouTube video, balancing a broom on your finger. I will concede on the shoe -- I can't do that at all. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

I don't understand why you can't do the shoe, it's the same principle. Can I sit down while doing it, I don't feel like standing in one place for 10min, I'm old. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Although I used to be able to solve the Rubik's Cube with my feet, I have never tried to balance a broom with my foot. However, I don't think I could go more than a few seconds. For the hand competition, yes, you may sit. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 148 Posts: 25978 | Are you basing your interest in betting on this the fact that you can't do it, or you just think I can't do it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

What would the rules be. How much would you bet. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I suggest we each provide our own broom. I think I have two, so you can borrow one of mine, if you wish. It should take place in a park or somewhere with lots of elbow room and little risk of outsider interference. Sitting will be allowed. I am pretty sure you'll win so I don't want to bet more than $20. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

You're right, I would win. Never mind. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
