      The video must show you randomising the socks thoroughly at the beginning of the video, immediately before the attempt begins. And while you did randomize the socks, your attempt was not thorough enough. Most of the socks were still lying next to each other in pairs. We encourage that you attempt this record again!

      And I think you should show that the white socks are different, I know one attempt has been rejected because it was not clear that pairs were different...

      The socks don't seem to be very well shuffled ! Almost all the pairs are already together...
