It briefly looked like a bunny but the more I looked the more it looked like a dog

The weird game was we divided into two teams of 5 and 2 lined up opposite 3. Everybody stuck out an index finger horizontally and face-up and a stick was laid across them. The object of the game is to lower the stick to the ground without anyone's finger losing contact with the stick.

Sounds easy, is actually tremendously hard. After we'd almost got to the point of "WHICH OF YOU BASTARDS KEEPS MOVING IT UP" we were told the name of the game is "floaty sticks".

The rule about keeping contact with the stick means that everyone is exerting a tiny upward pressure on it, and the slightest deviation means that someone's finger leaves the stick, so they move their finger up to touch the stick again which moves it up a bit more and so on.

To get it down you have to constantly talk about moving it downwards, which for some reason works.

It really does seem to have a mind of it's own
You'd think holding your finger steady wouldn't be that hard, but it bloody is.
