That little kid at the end was so impressed.

[chicagoground]

I achieved this as well. Moving the stickers took longer though.

Huh, after all this time, I didn't know that, THAT was Matts Valk sitting next to him, I was wondering this whole time why he slammed his hand on the table, I just thought that he was amazed at the solve

40sec ad before 41sec video -- YouTube is going to shit!

[Joe-hlts]

If I remember correctly, he was a little too happy that he got the world record if you know what I mean

For those missing a certain feature, try pausing at 0:16 and using the comma and period keys to go frame by frame till you get the moment he stands up in triumph.

The guy next to him is like bruh that's my record

[tivolibelen]

[twotone]

if this kid gets off by solving a rubiks cube, he was bound to break the record eventually...
