Can you pat your head and rub your stomach at the same time?

Question

If you can do it, then it shows you're a good multitasker. ;) Try it right now. If you can't do it like the gif then you are not a good multitasker. 😖 I can't do it lol. Can you?

LOL yes I can. :D The easiest way to do it is to pat your head and rub your stomach slowly at first to the find the right rhythm between both hands so that they go "in harmony", if that makes sense.

This brings back good memories, because this gesture was also included in an old adventure game series I played from back in the 90s. Basically, you can choose to play as a fighter, a magic-user, or a thief (or even any combination of the 3). In every city to which you go, there is a secret "Thieves' Guild" for the city's thieves to hang out lol. If you want to be a thief (or partly a thief xD ), this is the secret gesture to identify other thieves and ask them where the Thieves' Guild is. xD If you ask the wrong person, you may be outed as a thief and get into trouble!

See, your player character is the one in the middle with the white sleeves, doing this gesture hahaha:

I can pat my head and rub my stomach at the same time as reciting the first part of the emancipated proclamation while taking a piss! It can get messy though..

Oh god, it's not as easy as I thought it would be! I can barely last a few seconds doing it properly, I end up messing up, haha.
I'm horrible at multitasking, it explains why I only finish one assignment over the weekend.

I managed to do it but I needed 3 seconds to get the movements well coordinated. So let's assume I'm a reasonable multitasker :D
