Think you've got a steady hand at Jenga? Do you think you have good hand-eye coordination, and a sense of balance and spacial reasoning that will get you to get that tower not to topple over? Well, that really doesn't matter because this woman owns you.
An eight second video on Youtube shows a woman, with just one blink-and-you'll miss it motion, show how she is the greatest Jenga player that ever lived. Ever.
Never in the history of Jenga has one player made a move so cool, so epic, and so extraordinarily impossible to believe. Luckily, it was caught on camera... which makes some people think it was staged, but we care not. We still think that woman deserves an award.
Normally, a game of Jenga entails players to take turns removing wooden blocks from a tower, using only one hand, and place that block at the top of the tower. The goal is to remove as many blocks as possible and build the tower as high as possible, without letting the entire thing fall over.
The game is so simple yet has gained popularity ever since it's inception by creator Leslie Scott. Although many say that Jenga has it's roots in similar building games played in West Africa, Scott designed her Jenga game based on a game her family made up and played in the 1970's.
She named the game "Jenga" after a Swahili word which means "build."
Before she created Jenga, Scott was actually one of the pioneers of Intel and says the game she created helps people in business to take risks and think outside the box.
"Games can provide an environment in which we can test ideas, or carry out thought experiments without risk of causing any real harm. There are lessons that one can learn from playing games..." she said.
Clearly, the woman in this video took the risk-taking aspect of the game to heart and we salute her valiant, and most salute-worthy, successful effort.
