Swat

swat the fly. the paper takes a beat to land.

a housefly on a kitchen table and a rolled newspaper that takes a beat to come down, so you swat where it is going

The rolled paper takes about a quarter of a second to come down, so you have to swat where the fly will be, not where it is. Clever flies see the tip coming and dart out from under it, but the whole paper swats: lay it across the fly, not on top of it.

Concepts: trajectory, timing, perception.
