Since I don’t really have any poker related articles to post today, I thought you might find the toothpick, apple and fork balancing trick interesting.
The toothpick, apple and fork balancing trick
Nobody at my work thought the trick was cool, but they are all physicists so what can you expect? 
IMO this is an exceptionally illustrative example of the Lever Principle in action, and best of all it only took me about half an hour to master.

Does this mean you like the trick?
Mark’s last blog post..The toothpick, apple and fork balancing trick
From the picture, it seems there are 2 “objects” so to speak: the apple and 1st toothpick, as that toothpick will not move from the apple; and the 2 forks and 2nd toothpick; here again there form just one object if properly locked together; so then it is just a matter of finding an equilibrium with 3 points.
I will try them next time I see an apple.
