To win the bet, place about twenty drawing pins on a table – amazingly, you can push a balloon onto the drawing pins without it bursting.
When there is only one drawing pin, the entire force on the balloon is focused on that one tip, and so the resulting pressure easily breaks through the rubber of the balloon. However, when you push the balloon onto lots of drawing pins, the same force is distributed across all of the tips and so there is not enough resulting pressure from any single pin to penetrate the rubber.
