Open a bottle of wine with a piece of string.

Step 2 Push the cork into the bottle

youve probably done this bit before in that desperate attempt to open you vino on a camping trip.

using a pen or a bolt works fine (just push it in slowly to prevent wine spilling out)

I've seen the hardest core of people do this with ninja finger tricks. If you support your pinky with your other hand you can push it in with your pinky. This might hurt a little, but you'll feel real bad-ass...

The better wording would be, " i bet i can get this cork out with only this string"
This way, you leave yourself open to use whatever tool you wish to push the cork INTO the bottle as long as you use the string to take the cork OUT

But this is where you loose the bet! "Hey, you said only with a piece of string!"- So ya have to use the finger, I wouldn't pay if you used another tool.

If you put the string between your cork and your finger, then pushed on the string, you could thwart your technicality. Otherwise, I would bet you that you can't open a bottle with a bottle opener (since using your hand to use the bottle opener would be using another tool.)

Agreed. That was a ridiculous objection.

No, I think it was a badly-worded objection.

I believe eezra was referring to the paragraph where it says to use a pen or a bolt to push the cork down into the bottle. Using either of those would constitute using an extra object, therefore you must use your finger.
