20 Second Test of Strength, Flexibility, and Balance
If you can put on and remove your socks while standing, you pass.
Bonus points for doing it with your eyes closed. |

FWIW, I consider "putting on your socks while standing" to be a legitimate test. If you can't do it, you have an issue with strength, flexibility and/or balance (or, for some it may represent a "pie" issue :D). |
I passed, what do I get?

I keep a pair leaning up against the wall over there for just such situations.

Am I supposed to put on both socks simultaneously?
|
I can do it easily................ unless I tried the first half hour after rising in the morning. My back won't let me do it then.
The bad part of that is......... that's when I put on socks. |
It's tough, yes, but what about plucking a golf ball from the bottom of the cup without crouching way down? With, like, barely bending those knees? My fellow golf nut (and cycling nut) Jppe, how about it?
|
What about putting on undershorts while standing, would that get me pie?
|
I tried it with my eyes closed and put both socks on the same foot. What does that mean?

Socks?
Who wears socks? (I passed at age 67yo - WITH MY EYES CLOSED - calf length socks, no less. I want my prize and bonus prize! - is that 2 pieces of Blueberry Pie?) |
I can also tie my shoes while standing on the other foot, do I get bonus points?

Can you do it while standing on your head? |
