Pointlessly challenging yourself

[JAZZMANB]

Trying to hit the bin at work with endless scrunched up paper is my little bit of sanity in the bedlam

Stabbing the baby would be worse surely?

Thats a bit “dark” for me.

this...

crazy days...

Throwing things in bins from as far away as possible.
And every day I race the satnav to work. Can usually take about 5 minutes off it.

I see the time estimate on the satnav as a challenge. On our other car that doesn’t have sat nav, I try to get a personal best of mpg. Best so far has been 88mpg over a four mile run. Mostly downhill so a fair bit of free wheeling going on.

golf - enuff said

If I'm travelling from Newcastle to Durham late at night I always attempt not to go over 40mph

You know coasting in gear is more economical than free wheeling out of gear right?

Just used the wrong terminology.

I use wet cotton wool and I’m up to about 95% success.

Interesting. How so ?

When you’re freewheeling, the engine is still injecting fuel to keep it ticking over, When you’re coasting, the engine sees the revs from the wheels driving the engine, realises this and the ECU stops injecting fuel. That’s what I was told anyway.

trying to get the empty sack trucks at work to balance on their wheels while pushing them and then letting go to see how far they'll go before they fall over

These things

If you get it right you can get them to go for a few metres at a time at walking pace unloaded. Its tremendously satisfying when you pull it off.

When i go for a soak I like to guess when there should be enough water while I am not in the bathroom. Then I enter the bathroom and its still too low.

much much easier to try shit like that during rush hour, reverse it for a bit of a challenge.

If you roll down a hill in neutral then the engine will idle at about 750 revs and not use much fuel at all?

Still more than none.
That’s why your trip computer goes to 999 if you coast but somewhere below that if you freewheel.

The paper in bin thingy at work
Trying to volley my chewy into a bin, only ever done it once

 

[Starborst]

When leaving a room whilst a song is playing, I like to keep playing it in my head and seeing just how in sync I am once I get back in the room, maybe a minute or so later

 

[LondonMackem]

I flush the bog mid piss and try and beat it (not my cock).

I've got a challenge with a mate - who can use chop sticks the best by November 2018. I must say I'm coming along quite nicely, used them with my Chinese takeaway on Saturday.

Who won?
