Cigarette Bar Bet (Posted on 2003-10-15)

A cigarette is standing vertically on its butt. You cannot touch it with any object(solids, liquids or gases). That goes for the foundation also. How can you make it drop? Asking another person to do it does not count.

You could use quantum mechanics. If you wait for the time that is next to forever, the cigarette will eventually end up fallen.
