OK, everyone check out George's link, and see if you can catch a dollar bill.
I could. Every time.
And I think anyone that plays piano reasonably well, can do the same.
That's my hypothesis. Eye/hand coordination is developed to be much faster for pianists.I used to piss off our cat because I could smack his paw faster than he could try to dig his claws into me. It always started out as a game, but he would get mad after losing over and over. He'd finally hiss, and run away, with me giggling like a little kid. Everyone now needs to go find their cat. If you don't have a cat, just walk down the street calling "kitty-kitty." Cats may be slower so that everyone can play that game and win. Not sure.

When the Great Plague of London ravaged through the British city beginning in 1665, Issac Newton was a student at Trinity College, Cambridge. As described in Gale Christianson's Isaac Newton, a few months after acquiring his undergraduate degree in the spring of that year, the 23-year-old retreated to his family farm of Woolsthorpe Manor, some 60 miles northwest of Cambridge. Along with being located a safe distance from the carriers of the horrific disease that was wiping out the population of the city, Woolsthorpe provided the sort of quiet, serene environment that allowed a mind like Newton's to journey, uninterrupted, to the farthest reaches of the imagination. This period is now known as annus mirabilis – the "year of wonders."
