Fantastic!  I was afraid there were going to be some Mentos in the bottom bottle.


That’s a great idea!

Agreed.  I thought about trying a setup with that, but I'm guessing I'll knock the bottles over multiple times, so nope.  Grin

Buddy, you are getting too good at that.  Beautiful throws.  Thumbs Up

I've got a good bit of ice stocked up and making a couple more batches.  Will be making an attempt at the hourglass this Sunday.

Thanks joe .
I bet you will get it in under 100 throws . Just a tip, about half fill the bottles , keeps the centre of gravity lower. Seemed like it was easier to balance.

Can’t wait until Monday my time then , should be a new clip on YouTube.

No pressure

I did notice in your video that the bottom bottle was partially filled.  Great tip!

This has a very similar feel to the nail challenge with the precision needed.  Not sure if I'll get it or not.  We'll know soon.

I found the hourglass more difficult.  Correct hand posture is important here.  And it takes a lateral spine movement.  The nail is much easier.  You just have to hit it in the middle.  But I was very surprised that the nail simply disappeared into the wood.  In the video you can see that the hit was made slightly to the side.  Nevertheless, it sank the nail without any problems

For me the nail is the hardest thing I’ve tryed and done.
I found the hourglass easier.
But actually, small targets at distance are the hardest
