Balance
After finding a place to live for the next year, the Mrs. and I attended the Science Museum of Virginia to pass some time on Sunday. One of the rooms dealt with the different systems found in the human body and major exhibits on the cardiovascular, digestive, nervous and endocrine systems were found. Among these though were smaller displays on genes, DNA, eyesight and muscle movement. Now as someone who enjoys winning, at even minute things like FreeCell, during competition, the Balancing Act exhibit proved to satisfy my thirst for success.
The apparatus consisted of a diamond steel plate atop the rounded face of a cylinder with two sensors on the bottom side of the plate. Simply, when tipped the circuit would short and the clock would stop. Visitors to this exhibit were averaging 25-30 seconds of balance before quitting because, hey, they can balance! Well, the Mrs. stepped up and popped off with a 40 second showing before stepping off in the same manner as the others. Not going to be outdone I hopped up, ready to show these people how to balance!
4.88 seconds was my longest time of my three trials.
Subsequently I had the fastest reaction time for the day of all Museum visitors. Boo-ya!
