In the ring game, as played at The Complete Angler on Bimini in the Bahamas, the goal is to land a brass ring, attached to the ceiling by a long string, on a hook affixed to a wooden post. Experts can do it without looking, and some can do it with no hands by tossing the ring from on their foreheads while facing in a direction away from the post and the hook. a classic example of "people with too much time on their hands!" Here we see the ring traveling towards the hook, and in the next image we see the ring on the hook as the people at the bar burst into applause.

Equipment: Minolta 800si, Minolta 35-70mm lens, slow-shutter rear-curtain sync (taken at 1/2"), Minolta 5400HS strobe, on Fuji Provia 400f film pushed two stops.
