breaktime: Penguin Swing

We had so much fun with this at work!
Wheeee!

Since we're on the penguin topic, here's a video: dancing penguin

Aurelio sends in this fun one:

The object is to move the red block around without getting hit by the blue blocks or touching the black walls. If you can go longer than 18 seconds you are phenomenal. I was told that the US Air Force uses this for fighter pilots. They are expected to go for at least 2 minutes. Give it a try!!I Enjoy!
