Inspired by Ido Portal´s stick riddles from his Movement X-Workshop, I´d been motivated to invent the one or other stick riddle myself. Some are rather crazy, but I thought I might share them anyway. ;) 1) In the picture below you see the start and finishing position. As you can see, hold the stick in front of you with supinated grip. The task is to bring the stick above your head, behind your back, and under your feet back up to the front. Grips are both held loose and may shift, but do not alter the type of grip. 2) The same as 1) with pronated grip, thumbs inside. (Grip will loosen up alot more here, that´s fine.) 3): Stand on one leg and balance the stick on the upper thigh of the other leg. Now move the stick once behind your body and back again and put it on the other thigh in a similar position. The stick shouldn´t touch the floor or your arms/hands. Standing on one leg ist just starting- and finishing position. It´s not required inbetween. (Got two very different solutions! ) Comment: The stick doesn´t really have to circle round the body (though in one of my solutions it actually does, but that´s the tougher one for sure!). Just bring it behind your body and back. 4) Start: lay the stick down on the ground. Balance on it with both feet. End: Stand only on your hands (not neccessarily in a proper handstand) and balance the stick on the soles of your feet. Rules: Don´t use your hands (save for standing on it). Feet must not weigh the floor. 5) Start: Stand in front of the stick with fingers on the top of the upright stick. End: Stand on hands in the front of the stick with a foot on top of the upright stick.
