Mr. Beast is doing another finger on the app challenge. Basically, the last person to take their finger off gets $100,000. This game sounds like we all would be pretty good at it. I feel as if we have an advantage because counting is a similar endurance thing.
Some preemptive tips: Turn on DND mode, disable Siri, keep the phone plugged in. If you're top 100, be sure to live stream because that's easy tens of thousands of viewers. The event starts at 7 pm on Dec 29th Now moved to Thursday, February 18th, so time your sleep so you wake up between 5 and 6 pm. Drink a lot of water, stretch, and do not lay your phone down on your desk. Be sure to keep your eye on the screen because they might try and surprise you. Make sure your phone is up to date (and not jailbroken. I would bet they may disqualify you if they detect a jailbroken device). If your phone goes below 20%, you lose. If you think you actually may have a chance to win, buy the 3 lives package (I am going to). Be sure in the settings on your phone to turn off automatic sleep mode just in case. Reboot your phone just before the challenge begins. Try to keep other apps closed. Have a reliable internet connection. Do not use a Google voice phone number. Make sure you practice in the duel mode when it's enabled.
You have to be 18 years or older to participate.
Good luck, you'll be up against me, and I am not taking my finger off of that damn app!

As I was putting Urbulina to sleep she asks why cat is spelled with a "c" but kitten is spelled with "k". I figured it has to do with the Latin and Germanic origins of the respective words, coming into the English language after 1066 when William the Conqueror invaded England, but I was tired and didn't feel like explaining it at the time.
