Coin Catching

For South Africans, use old 2c or new 5c coins for this event. These coins are 2.1 cm in diameter, and 1.5mm thick.

Take your hand, and place it palm upwards on your shoulder. Your elbow should now be pointing out in front of you. Take a pile of these coins and place them on the end of your elbow (you will find a nice flat spot there). Now pull your elbow down quickly and your hand over the top and grab the coins in your hand. Count the number of coins you managed to catch – this is your score.
