This week, Kim learns to spin a basketball on her finger. She is attempting to beat my time for being able to spin the ball for 30 seconds (4 hours 39 mins to learn). Let's see how she got on!

Kim: *Intensely focused, at 26 seconds, about to beat Mike’s record time* Mike: yells “KEEP GOING” Kim: *Fails* Mike: Why is she frustrated with me?

[@mollycollins2125]

Not his record time but I get what you mean.

[@kelder7]

hes was obviously trying to sabotage kim

[@oolrak]

@@mollycollins2125 I think he meant Mikes record time as in the time it took him to do it for 30 consecutive seconds

[@tommj4365]

Yea I feel it was unfair, had Mike not been there she may have learned it quicker

[@paper2222]

THIS IS IT

[@GrandIntellect]

It would be really interesting for Kim to pick a skill she is interested in and for her to learn it and then see if Mike can beat her time. Being the one who chooses what to learn might give one an advantage.

[@billyb3379]

Good point!

[@tommj4365]

And learn it in isolation because I think Mike distracted her.

[@shade9592]

I think that Mike is just more skilled at learning than Kim is because he has more experience at it.

[@tommj4365]

@King Pistachion thanks, I dunno how that happened :/ and you are probably right, it wasn't necessarily a distraction

I decided to pick up this skill after watching this video on May 9, 2021. My goal was the same as Mike which is 30 seconds straight.

This is so reassuring and helpful for my confidence!
