Can't watch at the moment; is this the guy who says to shake 7 times before you dry?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

12, but I do 7 or 8 usually.

And yes.

Why 12?

Why 12? 12 apostles. 12 tribes. 12 zodiac signs. 12 months. The one I like the best it's the biggest number with one syllable.

It's also a superior highly composite number, which is a lot of words to say it has many factors. That means it can be divided easily.

It just gets a lot of water drops off your hands and the air drying helps

Is it also the guy who ends with the joke that his next talk will be how to do the same with toiletpaper?
