One to one, and MORE
- The armspan to height (for most people) is one to one.
- Ask a woman to stand with her back to a wall and then slowly walk two steps out from said wall, carefully setting at the tip of the toe of her back foot the heel of her other foot before she picks up her back foot for each of the two forward steps (as if walking a tightrope). Then she should turn an aboutface in place. She’ll be facing the wall. Place a chair against the wall in between her and the wall. Have her lean forward and place her head on the wall and leave her head there. While in this position, she’s to pick up the chair and then stand up straight while still holding the chair. She will be able to do this.
Ask a man to do the same. He will NOT be able to do it. Let your cannibals, who I assume (hope?) are your students do this. Depending on their age, it might not work. It might work only with older kids and adults. If that’s the case, let them try it at home or any place where there are older people around. Also, let them solve WHY this works for women but not men. (Note: this is something we did ‘forever’ and usually works. I mean no disrespect to anyone if this ‘trick’ doesn’t follow the pattern I’ve laid out for him/her.)
