Instead of "bending over backwards", in Catalan we say "fer un ou de dos vermells"

Hello, Dan.
In Polish we "stay on our head" (stawać na głowie) or "go out of the skin" (wychodzic ze skóry) if we want to do sth that is very difficult.
It is a pity that you don't learn Polish :-)
Thanks for yhe game.
