Blog of cup challnge

The cup challenge The rukes were that you have to try and get 5 cups from one table too the other(one by one). Every team mate had to be included in helping. We were given five cups, one rubber band and five peices of string. When it came to actually doing the challenge we tied all the strings to the rubber band so we could tighten and release the cup whenever we wanted to without using our hands. We ended up dropping a few cups on the ground but its fine. For our time we got about 40 seconds and one cup officialy to the other side.
