I think the only thing I've ever managed, aside from sticking my nose into other people's business, is getting a spoon to stay on my nose for a matter of heartbeats. Hedgehogs, they're far more talented with tongues and noses. Bet they smell things at least five times better than any of us can.
( his look of concentration is particularly silly for this, and he has a good false start, a second go that almost works before the spoon just flat out falls off his nose, and then the third attempt...
