The setup

2) Toss the main stone in the air, quickly pick up another stone, and catch the main stone before it lands. Repeat, increasing the number of stones picked up per toss (up to 4 at once).
3) The challenge gets harder as you try to collect more stones in one motion.
How to win
Complete all the phases (1 through 5) without dropping the main stone or failing a pickup.
