Yes!!!! When I was in college. When we decided to take a spur of the moment trip to LA/Disneyland. We were up for about 35 hours slept for about nine and then we were up for about 30 more. It's about a 12 Hour drive from where we were. We were young and stupid but we had a lot of fun!
Unfortunately, no. I've had multiple people try to teach me, but to no avail.
I gave up and bought a pair of chopsticks that are stuck in the legs of a cute rubber panda, which helps me. I got them at the Japanese pavilion, incidentally.
