    Paperclip chain. I fumbled with some other GWR Challengers items just before beginning (I think I would do better because of it). I hope this is alright.

    Watch the video in slow motion at the end because there are some shakes while showing the 38 clips..

    Paperclip chain in 30 seconds. 34th clip just through the 33rd clip in time for the beeper, as can be seen from my hand movements and the rhythm.

    Hope this is a good attempt. Pause and watch the video repeatedly at the 1st second to see that the 33rd paperclip is off from my hand before the end of the timer.
