Well, Bev, many things are challenging to me that might not be to
someone else. ;-) I *can* do it, but it's not my natural method of
flipping and something about that unnatural flipping just rubs me the
wrong way. Anyway, all that really matters is whether it's a challenge
for your audience, not whether Tracy and Bev like it (which is a good
thing, since you'd have to call in a tiebreaker).
