Help with daughter's science problem

OK, you have a cup, 3x5 flash card and paperclip, you place the card flat on the top of the cup, and put the paperclip on top of the card. How do you get the paperclip into the cup without touching it?

My 1st answer, burn the card, was wrong.

move the card...?..

Define "it". do you mean the paper clip or the cup or the index card?

You have to get the paperclip into the cup without touching it.

use a magnet? that way your not 'touching' it.

Wet the card?

snatch the card?

this is hilarious, pick the card up and slide it into the cup

YOU CANT TOUCH IT

cant touch what? any of it or just the clip, the card, specify damnit man
