Apparently this puts you in the top 5% of the population in terms of strength. I'm not sure about that, but deadlifts sure are hard!

After spending 100 hours at the climbing wall on roped climbs, I thought it'd be interesting to see what level I'd be at the bouldering gym. I'm going to make a full bouldering video so please comment below what grade I should aim for.
This episode tackles climbing. Specifically top rope. I'd never climbed before so I thought it'd be interesting to see how long it'd take me to climb my first 6c (5.11).

Can my chess cheating device get past the metal detector wand commonly used at chess tournaments to screen for cheat devices?

Amidst the cheating controversy that, at the time of publishing, is still unfolding in the chess world between Hans Niemann, Magnus Carlsen and chess.com, I thought I'd try and see if "that" cheat device is actually possible. How easy is it to make? Can it actually be used to defeat high level players? Can I, a programming and electronics n00b make one? Let's find out.
