These are the easiest imo.

Definitely this, especially if we only have to stand as far back as they usually do. I was money throwing through tire swings, can't be all that different.

penalty kick are significantly easier than the other choices.
I’m afraid I would go at it too hard and air mail it. Doinking it off the cross bar and dying would suck

I'd also take a 3 pointer if that was offered.

And this obviously.

How is this not the most popular answer?
For people who played up to HS baseball this is probably not that difficult.
I imagine this would be a helluva lot harder for anyone who didn't though.
The average person who played playground ball or in a rec league or something has probably never seen a pitch even close to that fast.

Field goal. Large margin of error

I suck at basketball, but free throws would be the easiest on this list for me.

Dr. Pepper all day.
It's the easiest by far.

Really a toss-up between
4. Make contact with a belt high over the middle 80 mph fastball from a machine (no bunt).
7. Get a spare in bowling.
To this day no issues being able to do either without any preparation.

cartel is soft these days, I could do all of that shite with one eye tied behind my back

This is interesting. I have great hand/eye coordination. The thing I’ve done the most in my life is hit a 85 mph fastball and it would probably be one of the hardest things on this list to do today knowing how fast it gets on you and getting not being able to get the timing down on the pitching machine.
I would probably pick the penalty kick or overhand serve. Neither of these are hard to do imo.

I’m seeing a lot of tennis serves. I wouldn’t be confident in that at all if we’re getting 1 attempt.

You need a 0.5 second reaction time to make contact with an 80 mph fastball. You have no idea what the ball looks like out of the machine. You only get 0.5 seconds to make the correct action.
No other task has that reaction time component. That is MUCH harder than the other tasks.
You played collegiate baseball so not surprising that you don't think that's very hard. You've seen hundreds (thousands?) of 80+ mph fastballs.
A normal person has never seen one in their life.

Free throw as long as the rim is regulation and not one of them county fair rims.

8. Penalty kick against a cartel member that doesn’t play soccer.
4 is by far the hardest - so not that.
For me 3 and 8 would be a no-go. I'm terrible at kicking.
I have done 7 before but there is not enough margin for error.
I have done 5 before but again not enough margin for error.
2 would have been my choice when I was younger but now I'm old and stiff - so not that.
I have done 1 many times but I have also missed many times so no.
That leaves 6. The second chance would make the first try less nerve-racking.

Putt is too easy
Posted on 2/6/23 at 6:11 pm to BOSCEAUX
I’d be happy with all but 8

yep, that's an easy one for me, even now at my advanced age

I think of myself as a decent golfer. This is scary enough for a birdie with my friends watching. This would be the last on my list for my life.
