[@burgernthemomrailer]

I only use 1 room in the entire day. My entire house is 1 room.

[@cloroxbleach1050]

kektagon thats weird.. you have a kitchen, bathroom, and living room in one room?

[@burgernthemomrailer]

Clorox Bleach Nah, my entire room is just a bathroom with a laptop.

[@aisfor1]

Prison?

[@QUICKFACTS247]

Only one room😱😱

[@adenjordan3659]

I dont mean to be offtopic but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost my password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!

[@hiddenandromeda5339]

“..and adding a timer” Me : is there any timer? my eyes are too busy scanning the choices

[@saikirannalla6338]

I think unconsciously we're counting that timer

[@caitlinkunchur]

Lol the third was easier than the second

[@steelcarnivore8390]

Tumbling Tardigrades yes

[@apurvasingh9576]

I thought it too..

[@mohamedrabeek9045]

Exactly

[@yeontanssmum9321]

Yes!

[@drumetul_dacic]

Could it be because of the increased focusing of the brain, getting ready for something harder in a very short amount of time?

[@mysterioushoodedguy2332]

The imaginary ball I threw at the screen broke my phone

[@unpluggedalphaa]

😂 nice one.

[@Raymanujan]

When your iPhone stands for imaginary phone.

[@giftedsoul13]

Her eyes are enormous

[@leraj1639]

Sam M facts

[@r.d.r4266]

She s beautiful

[@davidcartagena1272]

Sam M lol

[@jett2333]

Sam M her I thought she was a fly

[@linagarcia1887]

I kept staring at her eyes

[@reechagaming1855]

How to use 100% of our brain? - Throw two imaginary balls

[@webtoonRecommendations]

Ok this is very underrated 🤣🤣

[@ChronicleBlaster]

xd

[@AndyGun11]

nah, that would be half of half so 75%

[@Raymanujan]

Men use 100% of their brain as they walk.

[@danielroach3904]

All I did was remember the last letters. My brain is to lazy to think harder than it has to.

[@Samuel201128]

That s why you should be or you are a programmer xD

[@taufikahmedniloy5621]

All I did was play it at 0.5x speed

[@narainen1588]

(I found my people) º_º

[@aori-8721]

I did the same thing😁 That made it hella easy

[@jorgelopez-ec8kv]

that's called a "schema" our brains do it all the time...kind of a shortcut for conscious data processing

[@adarshrajyadav4963]

i just remembered the last two patterns and it matched with options

[@nunubacin7215]

I got the third one right because the last letter is b

[@taufikahmedniloy5621]

I got all right because I played it 0.5x speed

[@steelcarnivore8390]

I am different, I didnt feel any pressure at all, but rather relaxed. IS IT BECAUSE OF THE OREOS I AM EATING?

[@ShakhawatHossainShovon]

The third round was way more easier than the second. How is this exactly i don't know. But i think, when i heard that this would be a tougher one, i designed a plan to solve it. May be this is the reason to make it easier.

[@definitelynotsolidsnake]

i just tried to remember the first and last pattern and hoped i was right

[@John9da]

When I also heard it would be tougher I decided to remember the first 2 and last 2 words

[@joshuaamadeusishak1887]

Maybe because you ignored the timer. People who are pressured by time limit have their mind to be delayed.

[@milhazlantra1920]

I thought it was chandler bing running in the thumbnail 😂

[@Gkjunction18-maths]

by remembering last two digits we can easily find the answer 😁

[@narainen1588]

......(I found my people)

[@primeoggaming876]

I didn't think the timer made it harder it made it easier.

[@hoang149]

Her eyes omg :]]

[@政斌-x8k]

O,O Her eyes though xD

[@buksiblingsfun8906]

Some do better with adrenaline, "fighters". Other's get nervous and don't

[@ifonlyyouknew]

A got all three, but the reason the third one was harder was because it was shown faster and there were more to remember, not because there was a timer.

[@theAstarrr]

No, they told you that they did not change it. There were 6 things for the 2nd and 3rd one, and each one was the same amount of time

[@realtyrocks1969]

You forgot A is not the same as I. "A got all three" - say what?

[@wrusselrani9511]

The second one was harder

[@joshuaheng8675]

I did the third faster

[@3pac1995]

I didn't think the last one was harder? So what does that mean?

[@ezioauditoredafirenze4919]

Why what great big eyes you got there! (Reference)

[@sophiao3732]

For the first question I thought he meant how much force I used to throw the ball, so I said one because I didn’t want to break my phone screen

[@edcompston8159]

I'm not sure whether it was a video of Brain Games or not but it was something saying like if you got 2 hours for a task, you'll spend 40 minutes deciding howbto do it. Any help to find out what it was? I've googled a lot and wasn't successful.

[@denv5221]

well, I've been thinking the times are the same duration.

[@tannu4377]

I only used my hand... so does my brain use over 50% by moving my hand

[@abdulkhadar239]

What is the name of this game

[@cyn7936]

Omg why are her eyes so big xD

[@iagogonzalezrodriguez4935]

This is weird, but actually it looked easier the third one.

[@paintballwin]

It felt easier for me the second time lol

[@izayahcossio5771]

Her eyes were scaring me so bad

[@tituspaul2345]

Tbh i jist made sure what was the last color and looked for that option 😂

[@jackkelly8677]

not from released from the brain, released from the adrenal gland.

[@andreavaras7093]

which episode and season is this?

[@saikirannalla6338]

I didn't answer the second one that time makes me to think faster I answered third one

[@a.a.1245]

What screen? The cellphone screen?

[@uremayt1042]

just focus on the first letter and last letter

[@lindsey1727]

Those eyes tho

[@joefjr13]

She could see the smallest thing with those eyes

[@aerohk]

I thought the third one was easier. I think my brain may not be wired correctly.

[@danielhil725]

Sarma is a food where i live xD

[@joshuaservanda4749]

yes

[@momi4832]

Wow the house is big mine just has one room !?-_-

[@Fabiolaboo]

All I did was remember the first and last letter.

[@stevendbos]

Felt more difficult when no timer

[@danielleciamei7113]

3 wasn’t bad at all

[@idontremember8021]

her eyes😨😵 scare me

[@SeeYouInTheStars]

nice

[@rahulmahata3957]

Brain doesn't release adrenaline .. andrenal gland on the kidney releases those!

[@abuhuraira7611]

My admission test is very much near to me and l will try to attend my exam without any pressure .

[@aradan4955]

I thought he was going to say “now you look stupid”

[@daynagotu]

The house reference wasn't a smart one

[@michil.1192]

I'd want timers on my traffic light

[@MM-tn9cf]

2:27 nope

[@2kdemiks816]

why she be lookin like some anime girl

[@europebasedvlogs1251]

I cared about last two letters only

[@hihi118]

I got the easiest solution : memorize the 2 final beeps.

[@niallkcummins1006]

I bet she has 21/20 vision

[@illustryfe5354]

That's below average

[@Mirsab]

I answered over 50% for the first one, And I answered the last one right too, anddd I found it easier than the second one, so wth is this video

[@hayatal-saddi584]

Ok ,,what about those who didn’t answer any question correct 😂???

[@TechDEEM]

That why my I got less grade in exam... Hahahahaha

[@kennytic_]

TIME UNDER PRESSURE

[@johnnyshidden8186]

why are half of these comments about her eyes

[@mingcheungwong6362]

But I visit every part of the house

[@вечная_мерзлота]

If throwing a ball uses 50% of your brain let me tell you your brain is the size of a nugget

[@mint-o5497]

Nope wasn’t hard, I just memorised the first 3 patterns of each one which is pretty basic

[@hermione1680]

Why why why 😭

[@akiradem69]

I just watched sleep deprived video of brain games while being myself deprived of it then watched this but found the “Under The Pressure” test easy esp the last one. Is it because I’m always under pressure?

[@simerdeepsingh7251]

3

[@Sotica1324]

0:38

[@ieishaayers9942]

The answers were not up the same amount of time the first answers was read, ur telling me that all the answers was read in 2 seconds?

[@dragozengen3789]

More like less emotionally.

[@hellohello8505]

Imagine if she stares at you

[@Alexmonsterx]

I had to stop watching, here eyes are mad scary

[@Glockz666]

HER EYES ARE HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!!

[@mint-o5497]

Believe it or not?...wtf u talking about is it supposed to be surprising to that u use over 50%

[@narconik2408]
