Summary

Using only a couple straws, could you transport an empty bottle over the Great Wall of Condiments?

Setup

Brian sets up a challenge where you need to transport an empty beer bottle over a small wall armed with only two straws with marks on them, and the following rules:

  1. Nothing can touch "no mans land."
  2. Your hands can touch either side of the straw at the same time.
  3. Bottle can touch either side at the same time.
  4. A finger and bottle cannot touch the same side at the same time.
  5. You can't touch the bottle.

Method

You only need one straw to accomplish this. Hook one end of the straw, slide the straw into the neck of the bottle (hook down) until the hook expands enough to catch the slope of the beer bottle neck. At this point the straw should be locked in solid enough to lift the bottle over the wall.
