Science Fair or not: using nose contraptions to push a peanut up Pikes Peak

**Rain Man** · 08:27 AM

This guy plans to become the first person in the 21st century to push a peanut to the top of Pikes Peak with his nose. It's been done twice before, or maybe three times depending on which article you read, but I think it's twice since I can't find the name of a third person.

However, the article say this, and it offends my sensibiltiies:

The city said he will use a contraption taped to his nose to push the peanut.

Apparently, though, the first person to do it also used a contraption if you watch this video: https://www.travelchannel.com/videos...pusher-0235616. And the second person attached a wooden salad fork to his nose if you read this article: https://gazette.com/life/outdoors/sp...09ea818a3.html

I don't know about this. I think if you're going to say that you're pushing a peanut up Pikes Peak with your nose, you should have to directly use your nose. What do you think?
