What can you do that very few others can?

[Wacky Racer]

I can fully restring a tennis/badminton/squash racket by hand, without using a machine.

Critical thinking and forming balanced and informed opinions.

Why would you want to even find out if you can do that?

I have quite an odd brain.

In some areas, it means that I can be ten steps ahead of those around me and able to visualise things weeks or months earlier than them. The way 'systems' (not IT!) interconnect and flow and relate to each other.

I'm also terrible at actually communicating that to other people, as I seem to skip a tonne of stages so I don't know how to help someone else go through their necessary thought process.

Stand up from a sitting cross legged position without using my hands or kneeling.

I can do that while breathing in.

Balance a couple of twin Webers - or at least I could.

I can balance twin SU's with a bit of hose pipe At least I could 15 years ago.

A mate was watching some CrossFit or Hyrox stupid exercise they do.

They were rowing on an Erg and then hammering stakes into the ground.

He reckoned he'd be the best in the world at it and I don't doubt it. He has a low 6 mins 2k and has been hammering stakes into the ground by hand for part of his job for the last 20 years.

Most young people should be able to do that.

I can do it holding a 12kg kettlebell in my 50s.

Here's a more advanced challenge for you. Kneel on the ground with your hips on your ankles ("kneeling down") then thrust yourself upwards and land on your feet (no hands touching the floor, obvs). Note: if you abort, try to avoid smashing your knees into the ground. I saw someone do this once. Not handy.

If I face a wall, I can bend my lower leg behind me until the sole of my foot is flat on the wall. Bit more effort required these days as I'm in my early 50's!
