If I handed you a stopwatch and said, “Stop this as soon as you think you\u2019ve reached twelve seconds,” you\u2019d probably do a solid job.<\/p>\n
The challenge is quite simple. As long as you can count to 12 and you know how long a second is (just use the old “One Mississippi” trick), you\u2019ll probably get to within half a second.<\/p>\n

Faced with the same challenge I just described, nearly all of them were incredibly close to stopping the watch at 12.00.<\/p>\n Everyone, that is, except running back Blake Corum. When this dude had his turn to shine, he failed\u00a0miserably.<\/p>\n After just 4.83 seconds, he hit the stop button.<\/p>\n Yeah, that\u2019s pretty bad. But you know what\u2019s worse? Corum seemed surprised.<\/p>\n “That was it?! Four seconds? I swear I was counting in my head,” Corum said.<\/p>\n Was he counting at the speed of light? None of his other teammates got a number lower than 10 or anything above 12.9. He\u2019s probably going to hear about that one for a while.<\/p>\n There\u2019s no way any normal human being would get to 12 three times faster than the actual length of a second. Corum is a\u00a0Michigan<\/a> graduate, so maybe the Wolverines need to look into how well their athletes are performing academically.<\/p>\n
