Having to press two buttons at the same time which are a bit away so that
both hands needed for pressing them... but you can still apply tricks like

millisecs? So if weight is there for at least 10 secs then that is the exact
measurements. But you cant avoid to leave the bad open and put one more
apple into it :-)
