Answer: an egg

Why someone would want to run a marathon at all is beyond me. But, to run a marathon while balancing an egg on a spoon? Twenty-six miles later I'd say the egg must have been scrambled. The other items would simply be too heavy and too difficult for a feat like this.

Answer: billiard sports

History shows us that "billiard sports", or "billiards", was the term everyone used when referring to games of skill which are played with a straight cue stick and hard deflective balls. The cue is used to hit the billiard balls, causing them to move and carom (bounce) around a felt cloth-covered billiards table that has rubber edges called cushions.

Answer: skateboarding

A hand plant is a really cool skateboarding trick that you can perform on quarter pipes, half pipes, and at the end of ramps. It is not technically hard, but relies on the skater's ability to balance on their hands.
