* Die twee uitslae in bold is die rekords.
*Vir die watte-gewigstoot het ons die standaard SA watteballe wat jy koop (so groot soos 'n standaard "marsmallow") gebruik.
*Ons het net 'n vraag oor die "standaard" by strootjie gooi en marsmallows in die mond. Hoe groot is die marsmallows (40) en watter gewig strootjie (17 m). Ons het die Standaard strootjie gebruik wat jy in die papiertjie toe by die kafee kry, gebruik.
* Die tou eet se tyd klink ook 'n bietjie rof!
* Alles was eger pret.
* Kan ons die SA-spanne se resultate oor die naweek kry.
* Dit was "great fun"!
Van ons kant af dankie vir almal wat moeite gedoen het!
Groete
