...to make an omelette, without breaking any eggs.
Sneeze without closing your eyes.
Count the grains of sand on a beach.
Name all the stars.
Catch the moon in your hands.
Find the end of the rainbow.
Dance on the head of a pin.
Fit through the eye of a needle.
Walk on water.
Speak without a sound.

to make an omelette, without breaking any eggs.

place a hole at each end, drain the egg fluid out but leave the egg statistically intact

Sneeze without closing your eyes.

have them shut in the first place, thus removing the closing action from the sneezing action

Count the grains of sand on a beach.

take a measuring scope. weigh out 10 grams of sand. count the number of grains. calculate the area of the beach and the weight, multiply the result by the number of grains

Name all the stars.

their now all called Fred.

Catch the moon in your hands.

go to the moon with a chum.
have you both stand on your heads.
on shoves off just before the other.
through careful camera work you will oberve the moon being thrown from one person to the other and the other appearing to catch it.

Find the end of the rainbow.

iirc it was around page 145

Dance on the head of a pin.

In civil enginnering there are pins with a head approx 3 meters across

Fit through the eye of a needle.

see above

Walk on water.

either a sunken support of flotation device on your feet will work here

Speak without a sound.

learn sign language

that would be ice, which afaik is a distinct substance to water (through structure rather than content).

However, it's a technicality, and technicalities always count *cough* it's still H20, and H20 is still water.

And one could always claim there'd be a thin layer of meltwater.. or that one was walking on the unfrozen water underneath.

I've sneezed with my eyes open.

I had to forcibly hold them open, true, but it still counts.

I can do it as well. Learned it while driving.
Now, if I leave them open when I blow my nose, air will stream through my eyes. Very peculiar...
