My specific subfield in software development.
Not because I’m particularly good at it - just because it’s incredibly niche and the few dozen other people on the planet who also work in my field would probably not be amongst those 99.
- apotheotic(she/they) ( @apotheotic@beehaw.org ) English16•2 months ago
99 randomly chosen people? Any of the niche hyperfixations I’ve had in the past few years would probably give me a good shot.
I’m not trying to roll the dice that I’m in the top 1% of those fields, I’m just trying to roll the dice that those interests are shared by fewer than 1% of people (very likely).

Speaking Estonian. There are few enough native speakers on the planet that the odds of anyone out of 99 being better is negligible.

I won a longest eyelashes contest when I was a baby at a county fair. Maybe that still holds up?

I once judged an eyelash contest and the winner had one lash, just one, that was over an inch and half long.

Speedrunning Pikmin, my record is 9 days

This is now my answer, because my record is 7.

You’ve just given me an excuse to play Pikmin several more times to try and beat your record haha

I feel like beating a specific game quickly is the play here, the more obscure the better, as apart from hugely popular titles, odds of any of those 99 being familiar with the game are slim. I used to do resident evil 5 speed runs, so that’d be my pick. Or maybe mega man x just to have it over more quickly

That is an easy question.
Shooting, combined carbine and pistol, using Practical Competition Shooting League (competition/armor division) rules. Five stages.
I’m in the 20% percentile for PCSL shooters; I am not good when compared to them. On the other hand, very, very few people nationally compete in any kind of shooting sport. People that personally own firearms make up roughly 32% of the US population. People that practice regularly with the firearms that they own make up a much smaller percentage of that. Of the people that practice, people that compete at all, much less regularly, make up a tiny fraction of all firearm owners.
Even if the 99 truly randomly chosen people are all in the US, I’ve got pretty decent odds that I’ll be competing against people that have no experience in shooting on the clock. If those 99 random people are people from anywhere, then, given that gun ownership is very low pretty much everywhere else in the world, the odds are very, very good that the people I’d be competing against wouldn’t even know how to effectively operate a firearm, would be unable to follow the rules, and would end up getting disqualified for major safety violations.

I tried that once, and it was pretty fun! It just annoyed me that you have to take the target back to you to see what you scored and retrieve your ammo :D

Life force (nes) gameplay. It’s a scrolling arcade space shooter.
I dabble in trying to speed run it. although I’m no good at the speed running, It is such a niche game with punishing moments I would easily win high score just by playing safe.
