Why is it sometimes you can go without blinking for good few minutes and when having a no blinking match you end up doing complete opposite?

   I think its because then you start thinking about it too much and its natural to do the opposite whereas you can unblink for ages unconciously :)

   When someone tells you not to do something, it becomes more tempting to do it. For example, if you're walking with someone and they say 'don't look back', the first thing you would do is look back. It's human nature, we can't change it
