Can we all appreciate the fact that Adam is giving these kids a chance to not only explore but let their skills be tested? I would have loved to be in their shoes when I was their age

[originalnick]

Imagine bringing this machine to the “Family play night”.

[BrotherSergeantFlynn]

"This is the last chance"

*They fail*

"It's not over yet!"

[saiftherockstar]

The design of the rest of the tower matters a lot. If it is internally stable enough, it wont collapse.

[zcraft]

Friends:Dude, there's no way you're gonna get that block
Me:*pulls out machine*

[Chris-hjje]

Tower: Gets completely destroyed.
Adam: *ThaT WAs ReALly CloSe*

Girl: "pneumatic actuator, pneumatic actuator, pneumatic actuator"
Voiceover guy: "AN AIR POWERED PISTON"

I remember playing Jenga with one of my friends in our school library. We got really deep into the game, and just when I thought it was definitely going to collapse when my friend took his turn, he pulled out a pen, swiped the bottom block with it, and just looked at me like it was nothing. Funny memory haha.

I've actually done this in a normal game, and everyone assumed I was god.

[ducks]

I would have *loved* to do science with them. Mythbusters is what made me a science fan and every new episode was such a learning experience for me

[TheCrystalGlow]

Adam will never get enough myth-busting. I can tell he enjoys this far more than any of the other cohorts ever did. I am glad to see him do this with kids.

[bowsercastle]

No one:
Valarie: 👁️👄👁️ *"My PnEuMaTiC aCtUaToR"*

[patersul]

The first he starts laying out the rules about moving the block with only one hand, kid in green uses two hands 0:24

[nataliesanchez]

I can’t be the only one that laugh at this part 3:33 how disappointed he look and walk away 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[ellaanimine]

I’ll never forget the absolutely insane game of Jenga in one of my college math courses. In a high stakes game one of my classmates chopped the block out from the bottom of the stack and the class. WENT. W I L D !! The professor from the floor below us came up the stairs to see what all the ruckus was about. Absolutely insane.

1:30 that was awesome.. but it slowly pushed it away 😂😂

[CRAZYCRTC]

All that could have been done by swiping the the tower with a 24inch ruler.

[Myzelfa]

The blade bounced back and hit the next brick up as it was falling, and actually pushed it back in line slightly. I wonder if it doing so actually helped stabilize the tower.

When ur in the last stage of Jenga and Val pulls out her pneumatic actuator

thay was stacked differently you need the same setup for all 3 tests
