Coin Spinnin'

One of my favourite time wasting games is coin spinning. There are two teams one person each and it is played sitting on the floor. One team serves by holding a coin vertical on the floor with one hand and flicking it with the other to make it spin like a top. The other team has to flick it to keep it going, teams take turns doing one flick each. If the coin stops spinning and it is your fault (either you didn't flick it fast enough or your flick made it fall) the other guy doesn't score a point, he gets to hurt you. The loser has to place his fist on the floor, like he has just punched it, and let the other person slide the coin flat across the floor at his knuckles. This really hurts if the other person is good at it. I have seen people get bleeding knuckles after playing for awhile. Usually once you lose two or three times in a row, your flicking is at such a disadvantage due to your hand exploding with pain that you might as well just give up at that point. Of course, you are only allowed to give up when you have just won a round and instead of shooting it at your opponents knuckles you forfeit.

One day a couple guys had been playing this for about half an hour in science class and quite a large crowd had gathered because it was a good match. The teacher was talking the whole time and eventually noticed that not a single person was even pretending to pay attention. She came over and tried to step on the coin to stop the game but stepped on one of the player's hands reaching for it. The teacher tryed to say that she would get them in trouble with the Prefecta for playing in class but they just said that she stepped on one of their hands and they would get her in trouble, no one ended up saying anything.
