I don't ski, but I also don't text message while driving in adverse conditions. I don't text message in city traffic. I do text message from the right lane, going the same speed as the rest of the traffic on relatively straight and level roads with few if any traffic lights. I also never take my eyes off of the road ahead while doing so.

The last time I tried skiing it did require 100% concentration and I did fall. I decided it was not interesting enjoyable enough to pursue, but presumably if I practiced I would have reached some level of proficiency.

What folks such as yourself don't recognize is that different people have different capacities for mulbreastasking and for some people using the phone does not mean that they are not also concentrating on the road.

In my younger school days I was something of an annoyance to my teachers (big surprise there). I was known for sitting in the back of clbutt reading a book, seemingly not paying any attention to the teacher - until I'd put down the book for a minute and correct the teacher. By the time they looked at the board and realized I was correct I'd be back to reading my book. I also never did homework, but consistently got 95% or better on tests.

Just tried it, didn't duplicate your results. I found the the groupings I used varied widely and were most dependent on the patterns the pennies landed in. I readily recognized groups of 5 or 6 when they were separated from others. Where things fell apart more was when they overlapped.

It's obvious from your posts that you think you know more than you do and you are unwilling to accept the fact that there are exceptions to every so called rule.

I worked in a college environment for a while. I left in part because I grew tired of explaining technical things to "faculty" with inflated egos who though they knew everything. Worse yet I had to explain IP subnet masking to 11 of 12 "degreed" DP directors who presumably had some technical qualifications.
