The idea behind the challenge is that you complete a range of exercises depending on the spelling of your name. Each letter is assigned a particular exercise and participants are encouraged to ‘spell out’ their full names by completing the various exercises.

The longer your name, the more exercises you have to do. With a full name of Benjamin Andrew Stokes, the challenge kept Stokes busy for quite some time. You feel tired just watching.
