To balance something flat and odd-shaped on your finger, you must find the object’s center of gravity. To do this, tie a weight, such as a pencil or a heavy washer, to one end of a string. Hold the other end of the string to one edge of the object—letting both string and object dangle freely—and lightly mark it along the line of the string. Then repeat at a different edge. The point where the line marks intersect is the object’s center of gravity, and you can balance the object by putting your finger under it there.

This game for three or more players comes from Japan and is something like Simon Says. the person who is It says, “Nose, nose, nose, mouth” (“Ear, ear, ear, ear,” or whatever) and simultaneously touches his nose three times. When It says, “mouth,” however (or whatever is said only once), he touches something else, such as his hair. The other players are to repeat what It says and does. If a player touches the wrong thing—his mouth, for instance, when It says, “mouth,” but touches his hair—that player is out of the game until all players but one have been eliminated. The last player then becomes It for the next game.
