Grab A Couple Of Mugs Of Coffee,

for this post,

how many times can you skip a stone across water? the clue is above, Kurt Steiner set the world record for skipping stones by hurling a rock at the water and making it skip an astonishing 88 times, how is that even possible? WIRED's Robbie Gonzalez got coaching from Steiner to find out how he does it -- and looked into fluid dynamics and physics to see whether we've reached the limit for skipping stones, best I have ever done is 7 or 8, so next time I go to the pond I will try a new technique, I might even make 11 or 12!
