Tips & Warnings

• You aren't limited to spoons and jelly beans. Improvise with anything on hand: paper cups and water, beans and forks, buttons and index cards. Use your imagination.
• Make the challenge even greater by using a less stable, narrow-mouthed container such as an empty 20-ounce soda bottle.
