And at first sight, it looks like the easiest. Competitors have to do two things. The
10、first is to stand still. The second is to place their hands anywhere on the body of a car, and keep it there. This is where things start getting difficult. Lots of people are doing the same thing.

14、n. Most say they will prepare by “getting lots of sleep”. Others say they will “eat healthy food” or “pray for success”.
