Run one hundred meters, solve a Rubik’s Cube, swim one hundred meters, solve a riddle, cycle five kilometres, then the first two who complete that have to head off in a game of Go.
Why not? There’s people advocating eSports be included in the Olympics, so I’m open to anything at this stage.
And Turing’s “round-the-house” chess: after you move, run around the house, if you get back before your opponent's move you are entitled to a new move.
