There are a lot of things I just don’t understand about the Japanese. Like how can they live in such small spaces, how can they bear to have mascots printed on literally everything, and how the hell do they tolerate hentai! Just kidding! But the Japanese really have come up with some rather precarious fads that in the rest of the world would get kids beat up and have office workers termed “the weirdo in accounts” or something like that.

The objective of the game is to simply hit the stopwatch precisely at 5 seconds. Easy as it may sound, it’s just damn difficult to do and is expected to inspire theories from counting to five before hitting the stop button, watching out for the blinking stop buttons for cue and even holding it up against a watch with hands!
