If you want to look really clever then you can challenge your mates to the postcard test!

All you need is a postcard and scissors

Give them a postcard and a pair of scissors and see if they can work out how to step through the postcard.

Seems impossible? Not if you know how!

To do this challenge all you'll need is a postcard and a pair of scissors.

Instructions:

	Step 1 Fold the postcard in half length-ways.
Step 2 Cut a slit into the folded edge, until you are about 1cm from the end.
	Step 3 Do this again all the way along the postcard until you reach the end.
Step 4 Now turn the card around and do the same on the other side.
