Since I'm the only alcohol virgin on this website, I may be the only one that remembers this trick. They don't call me the lifetime designated driver for nothing. I remember things that happen in bars.

The COG of the fork and spoon is not inside the fork or spoon. But, we can identify that the Z axis of the COG runs through the edge of the glass, where the toothpick rests. I'm sure that this is the point that you're making. But, it's a nice trick to leave the waitress. It's a real head scratcher.

There can be a rotational center that runs through the COG, and this is what we're seeking. We're looking on the Z axis, as a center of rotation could be found on other axes. The Clubshaft cannot be a center of rotation, since there is nothing on the underside of the hosel to counterbalance the Clubhead.
