The 1337m4n Challenge

[1337m4n]

1) Go to the gym and try to determine the maximum weight you are able to lift. Record this number.

2) Get an object weighing half this amount. The object must be one that will not be significantly slowed by air resistance when falling (for instance, a heavy parachute would be disqualified).

3) Have this object dropped from a height of roughly 10 meters.

4) Catch this object before it hits the ground.



And that's all there is to it, folks.

Can you do it?

Why would anyone attempt this under any circumstances?

I expect that this can not be understood without reading the Heiwa bathroom experiment thread first.

ETA; also the Heiwa challenge thread.

Also, since challenge threads are becoming too common here, allow me to hijack the thread and present

The Doctor Evil challenge:

Winning is almost trivial, just do not start a challenge thread, say, in the next year.
Winners can send me the prise, namely, one million dollars, in unmarked bills. Your contributions are most appreciated.
