Subscribe for the little hedgehog :) Many people found the original version too “easy” (th-cam.com/video/vhaYnT08kLI/w-d-xo.html), so I accepted the challenge lol! 10 minutes in general is not long, but did YOU pass the test? 🤔
@@gletchbus Cant find something like this on TH-cam. This is really good. Almost like visual meditation. Btw I found the food and crunch was the most challenging, I was going to lose if it had lasted longer 😂😂 very good exercise when you are hungry.
I failed as soon as the hello happened. I’m very good at ignoring visual stimuli while also processing what it is, but auditory takes away all my attention immediately
Assuming “not looking away” means at least having the center of your vision located at the blue circle, I barely passed! Hardest thing was the text, but I rapidly blinked my eyes anytime I had the urge to look away
I was able to read the simpler words like thanks or see the guy doing parkour the first time but after that I was able to refocus on the clock and the circle
They should've made it so that there were no tricks, no auditory/visual stimuli, and only the blue dot was there (without the countdown.) That would most definetly be the hardest version
everything is red, and theres a orb in the middle of my vision, and i have the urge to absolutely put in the most attention possible when doing any movement
I made it, it was actually kind of hard. my strategy was thinking, that the blue dot is everything. the blue dot will help me find the right path and help me complete it. it was a lot of fun, thanks!
I can't believe I actually passed this test...I CAN FINALLY TELL PEOPLE I HAVE A GOOD ATTENTION SPAN. I almost lost a few times not to the video but because I randomly started to daydream. Whenever I daydream I usually look off to the side so this would mean looking away from the dot, so to make sure I didn't lose focus I would rapidly blink my eyes. This was fun though so glad I actually made it!
You almost got me at the fake loading screen as I sometimes do have trash internet so I thought it was legit. I decided to wait it out just a little bit though in case it belonged to the video. If it would have taken any longer I probably would have failed. I somehow did actually manage to keep my attention on the blue circle for the full 10 minutes, so maybe my attention span isn’t actually as bad as I thought.
This was a bad idea to do in pitch black room, thank you for the flash bangs it really helped i ended the video with extremly waterly eyes and i think i forgot to blink alot
I love this video so much, even though it felt so evil at times 😅 The "Hello" towards the beginning was the closest thing to getting me, and the red background at 253 was honestly really uncomfortable on my phone screen lol
DANGIT i accidentally looked away at 8:04 when he said "fast" but for the most part I held my own. funny challenge, If I were to watch this every day would this ultimately increase my attention span?
I mean likely, but it would also burn a blue circle permanently into your retina, so I would tell you to watch Point crow watch paint for 10 hours, or just do it yourself, definitely increase your attention span, or just meditate, that helps as well.
thank you man, it was very satisfying to pass it and feel like having a good attention, I come from the same video during 3 mins and passed this one on second try. I just learnt attention is easy to work.
Gave this to my little sister (Gen Alpha) to see if all those “Gen Alphas have no attention span” things are true. She finished it pretty easily, and although I can’t completely confirm she didn’t look away, her eyes seemed like they stayed still. So there is definitely hope in this new generation.
here's some ideas that would make this even harder - put in discord, steam, etc. notification sounds. people might think that someone sent them a message and look away to see what it is - flash some text for like a couple frames. this might be a bit of a stretch, but people tend to go back and pause at when the text appears so they can read it - fake advertisement. the circle will still be there, but people might gain a false sense of security and look away knowing that an advertisement is out of their control - family guy clips - near the end, have an end screen with recommended videos and the channel button in the corners. - this might be a little risky, and it is something you mentioned before, but try including some... thirst traps - try including stylized captions. this is a feature that not a lot of people know about, so it might catch them off guard - skibidi toilet - this one might be too evil, but at the beginning of the video, put "don't worry, there will be no flashing lights or jumpscares", and then later on, put text that says "EPILEPSY WARNING" or "JUMPSCARE WARNING" right above the circle. this'll also test people's memory, although the epilepsy might be going too far - subway surfers - have someone say "MAKE SURE TO LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CONTENT" in the video. this'll make the like button and or the subscribe button glow rainbow, which might catch people off guard
I had fun with this. It was easy and unexpectedly relaxing. Reading through the comments I was surprised to see that most people didn’t have such an easy time with this.
What I've learned from this, is that I always want to look at people that seem to be talking to me, yellow text distracts me and that video's of someone missing a nail constantly with SFX is pretty funny!
I only got mildly distracted a few times until the cat drawings, & it the 370's the soft music helped, which tracks with how having music or quiet talking or white noise helps my ADHD brain focus in life.
The text was really hard to get past, as it is really annoying not knowing what somebody said. I don't understand why a lot of people where put off by the audio, but for me the flipbook and rapidly changing images was a lot more challenging.
I could see a dim red orb, in front of me, right now, while writing the comment. And I glued my eyes unto the circle so focused, that now I have fallen in love with it!
Ngl the reason why I tried to do this test is because I wanna see if hyper focus actually exist and I didn’t think I actually made it to complete 10 MINUTES (I have Autism and ADHD and I didn’t really believe in hyper focus, thought it was just something for others to help “special” people cope)
Hyper focus does indeed exist, I would know. I get hyper focused on what I’m doing, especially if it’s something I’m interested in. Next time you do something you enjoy, see if you get lost in it, Chances are you most likely will. Hyper focus is a really handy skill, we tend to focus on things so much so that we are practically limitless. Like a sponge absorbing any knowledge, we can also use hyper focus to see things that others may not see. It’s quite interesting. I reckon you’ve definitely been in a hyper focused state before.
Haha I’ve done the shorter length one recently and when it said 600 I immediately started laughing. Definitely working on this and it’s super helpful. Can’t wait to increase my attention span. 😅
I watched both this and the 5 minute one just now, so I’ve now been sat here on my bedroom floor for 15 minutes, half zoning out in front of a dot 😂 It is safe to say I passed the test lol
For some reason TH-cam put ads on this one but it doesn't seem like for the main one. I don't control these ads btw, I wouldn't even know without reading the comments :/ Sorry
Now, as my reward i will go and see all the stuff you put in the video aside from the blue dot. Also thank you for making the color of the dot a less i eye-searing color. Now i can look away and not see a purple fot in my vision.
Tip: look at the moving number, while mentally saying "Blue circle" instead of counting, but still be aware of what number your counting, just keep up that pace, if you wanna verbally say it too, that's better, keep yourself occupied.
I have ADHD and I completed this, first 6 minutes were easy then around the 4 minute mark, my brain forgot what my objective was (to focus on the blue dot) and very nearly on 4 occasions made me fail this test, but it was saved due to the fact my eyes moved slightly closer to the border of the dot instead of being focused on the numbers and the middle of the dot.

This turned from an attention span test to a try not to laugh challenge.
Interesting...😂

It felt like a Monty Pyton animation
Literally
👍😂
This kept my noisy 6th graders quiet for 10 peaceful minutes. THANK YOU!!!!!!
Thanks for watching it!
That’s a genius idea!
THATS GENIUS
Impossible.. This power.. How is this possible?
NICE
I failed as soon as the hello happened. I’m very good at ignoring visual stimuli while also processing what it is, but auditory takes away all my attention immediately
That's interesting! I added that on purpose to make the test more challenging, especially based on the original video
Same
Same it’s odd
Same for me
lol same
Assuming “not looking away” means at least having the center of your vision located at the blue circle, I barely passed! Hardest thing was the text, but I rapidly blinked my eyes anytime I had the urge to look away
I would say it means keeping your eyes within the diameter of the circle! Also blinking fast is a great tactic 😂
Me too whenever text would appear it was almost like a urge to read them, and blinking somehow helped not look at them.
I was able to read the simpler words like thanks or see the guy doing parkour the first time but after that I was able to refocus on the clock and the circle
Then you were looking at the inside of your eyelids, not the circle
@@MrWildBoi uh oh
oh my god i immediately failed at the hello part, as soon as the audio plays my eyes just went to the hello text 😭😭 this is harder than i thought
Lol did you do the 3 minute version already?
Made it all the way through then watched it again to actually look at everything
Nice! The text can be intriguing if you miss it
Same.
@@gletchbusall i see is red circle my blinking is sincronised with the circle
That fake loading screen almost got me. You made this so hard it was almost painful lol!
That's great to hear 😂🤪
@@gletchbuswait I’m not allowed to look at the loading even though it was on the dot?
@@gletchbusIT WAS FAKE??
@@Giolopy No you are, just keep your eyes within the dot :)
@@TelaDev Indeed it was 😂😂😂
When what you see in your peripheral is so vivid you can't tell if you're still looking at the circle or not
They should've made it so that there were no tricks, no auditory/visual stimuli, and only the blue dot was there (without the countdown.) That would most definetly be the hardest version
Maybe but it would also be no different than just staring at something else I would say
Try not to zone out challenge (I’d fail)
Watch it at 2x speed

Thanks for watching and sharing your experience! That's a very cool way to think about it :)
got 44 seconds in and the hello made me look away
It was all planned... 😝

Funnily enough, this one almost got me but then I got a *true* loading screen. Awkward moment!
@@gletchbusfunny thing is I actually disconnected when the fake one appeared 😂
You don't even have to look at the circle and it's still a test of attention span.
instructions unclear, the blue dot has now burned onto my eye and wont go away

@@gletchbus Yee I thought the first one was pretty easy but this one is a great improvement 👍
10 hour version next? 😆
@@gletchbus Oh yeah I'd definitely try that 😂
i was doing so well, until i got an ad
Sorry! I don't control those
YOU GOT ME AT FIRKCING "Hello" AAAAA I CANT HELP BUT NEED TO LOOK AT WORDS AAAA
Had to rewatch 50 times due to looking away
This was a long and painful journey, I kept my eyes on the prize, I feel so dizzy right now..
Congratulations on passing both tests and be sure to take a break now haha

0:44 you’re actually evil for that. I almost fell for it
I fell for it
I managed to stop my eyes from looking away RIGHT when they got to the edge of the blue circle. I never felt so scared from a video until that moment
my attention span on a random circle with REALLY distracting distractions: golden
my attention span in class: terrible
This feels like a surreal dream
Someone said it's like a story too lol
Gave this to my little sister (Gen Alpha) to see if all those “Gen Alphas have no attention span” things are true. She finished it pretty easily, and although I can’t completely confirm she didn’t look away, her eyes seemed like they stayed still. So there is definitely hope in this new generation.
That's great to hear :)
yeah im gen alpha and i did it
I'm so glad that I was able to study the numbers and focus on their details, because otherwise I would not have made that.
I just spend 10 minutes looking at a blue dot. I’m so productive
557 my brain is hardwired to read text.
the loading screen nearly got me though
Lol there's a lot more text if you wanna try again!
here's some ideas that would make this even harder
- put in discord, steam, etc. notification sounds. people might think that someone sent them a message and look away to see what it is
- flash some text for like a couple frames. this might be a bit of a stretch, but people tend to go back and pause at when the text appears so they can read it
- fake advertisement. the circle will still be there, but people might gain a false sense of security and look away knowing that an advertisement is out of their control
- family guy clips
- near the end, have an end screen with recommended videos and the channel button in the corners.
- this might be a little risky, and it is something you mentioned before, but try including some... thirst traps
- try including stylized captions. this is a feature that not a lot of people know about, so it might catch them off guard
- skibidi toilet
- this one might be too evil, but at the beginning of the video, put "don't worry, there will be no flashing lights or jumpscares", and then later on, put text that says "EPILEPSY WARNING" or "JUMPSCARE WARNING" right above the circle. this'll also test people's memory, although the epilepsy might be going too far
- subway surfers
- have someone say "MAKE SURE TO LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CONTENT" in the video. this'll make the like button and or the subscribe button glow rainbow, which might catch people off guard
Dude this is impossible mode
@@Runtem exactly >:)
I DID IT! YAY! I STAYED FOCUSED ON THE BLUE CIRCLE THE WHOLE TIME!
HELP THERES A CIRCLE IN MY VISION NOW
I had fun with this. It was easy and unexpectedly relaxing.
Reading through the comments I was surprised to see that most people didn’t have such an easy time with this.
That's nice :) There are many similar comments but still a lot of different results for sure
@@gletchbus Yea that is one of the fun parts. Seeing all of the different results.
I am FOCUSING on my power of indifference when provoked.
I did it on my second attempt because I got jumpscared by that "HELLO" on the first one, it was just really loud compared to other sfx
Sorry 😅
all's good man :)
anytime there was just a random sound i started laughing on the inside, but concentrating a bit too much on the outside
Please make more this scratches an itch in my brain I can’t describe
What I've learned from this, is that I always want to look at people that seem to be talking to me, yellow text distracts me and that video's of someone missing a nail constantly with SFX is pretty funny!
The "breathe in" part was one of the hardest to get past since it was a combination of both sound effects and text
I actually forgot about which part that is lol
2:40
I sat there for nearly three minutes and giggled, but didn't look away. I will try it again later.
I need a 1 hour version... PLEASE
Maybe one day!
the logical next step is the extreme mode, 1 hour.
I only got mildly distracted a few times until the cat drawings, & it the 370's the soft music helped, which tracks with how having music or quiet talking or white noise helps my ADHD brain focus in life.
Thanks!
No problem, thanks for watching! :)

I don't understand why a lot of people where put off by the audio, but for me the flipbook and rapidly changing images was a lot more challenging.
It's been really interesting reading the comments as everyone is so unique lol! I think you're the first one to mention the flipbook too! :P
The section after "hello, hi" always gets me
I could see a dim red orb, in front of me, right now, while writing the comment.
And I glued my eyes unto the circle so focused, that now I have fallen in love with it!
I dont know why i genuinely found this funny but laughing made it harder
Some people said the same thing lol
Made it, now theres an orange circle burned into my vision 😅
oh, my goodness. once the hello part appeared it took my whole attention. this is so so hard.
i failed to the text... twice :(
this got me feeling gullible af man
Edit: I completed it on the 2nd try, I'm sending you an invoice for my retinas
I lasted 7 minutes, 178 seconds left. I lost my focus for half a second and it was enough for my eyes to glance at the damned nail.
A suggestion incase you do this again is to add realistic knocking at a random part of the video so people immediately look away
Maybe lol, but I don't wanna purposely scare anyone (although according to other comments I already did 😬)
this is a good way to fall asleep tbh
For real lol
Now 10 minutes made my eyes burn the circle even longer lol.
Haha were you able to pass?

Honestly this one was pretty easy, made my eyes kinda dry at the end though

this is incredibly difficult
I passed the test, but at the cost of having my retinas getting 3rd degree burns! :D
HAH, you underestimated my power!!! Turning off my brain to stare into emptyness (Or in this case a blue circle) is my SPECIAL ABILITY xD
I slept so well from this vid
the loading screen got me, i was like "wait what? did i disconnect?" and then i saw the video was still playing and just went "god dangit"
after the 150 second mark it’s difficult for me to not get my attention grabbed by something else, but i managed to survive!
I eyes would look away, but then immediately snap back to the circle
I still found this quite easy. If we don't consider the 3 interruptions by advertisements.
Dang TH-cam put them there :/
I have an awful attention span, but I powered through
8:00 The beeps sync! I love it
it's been 3 hours and the blue circle still imprinted in my eyes
What a rollercoaster of emotions
if you ever make another difficulty, put a subway surfers footage at 100 seconds so that its even more painful
the "hello" caught me off guard lol
I got an ad at the number 113, but i kept looking in the center and skipped it real quick. Did anyone else get an ad at that time or just me?
For some reason TH-cam put ads on this one but it doesn't seem like for the main one. I don't control these ads btw, I wouldn't even know without reading the comments :/ Sorry
after wasting 10 minutes of my life, I can barely focus on anything now, my eyes are feeling weird
The sudden "Hello" got me, lol😂
This whole test just shows how BORING class really is and how much we don't care about anything we are taught.
The big yellow arrow and text got me, at least it's 3 minutes with some distractions that I got through
I'm sure you would pass the original 3 minute version!
THE DAMN HELLO GOT ME
For the last 5 minutes i see the blue circle in my field of vision
Now, as my reward i will go and see all the stuff you put in the video aside from the blue dot.
Also thank you for making the color of the dot a less i eye-searing color. Now i can look away and not see a purple fot in my vision.
Tip: look at the moving number, while mentally saying "Blue circle" instead of counting, but still be aware of what number your counting, just keep up that pace, if you wanna verbally say it too, that's better, keep yourself occupied.
for milliseconds, i did look away on some points but i poisitioned back again. ngl you really tried hard to make us look away😂
id finish this but its late and my eyes aren't liking it so imma have to atop 😭
The first music is just perfect for gaming…
DAMN IT!! I LOST AT 8:39 when it shows the *breathes in part*
You still made it really far though! :)
Did not look away, I’m proud.
Also shortest 10 mins of my life
The "Hello" one got me xD but I did well through the rest of it although my eyes were getting tired
THAT HELLO SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME
This gonna be good meditation
The majority of this is fairly simple but once the chewing happened misophonia kicked in and my soul completely bailed
Were you able to pass the rest of it?

great, now I have a round dot in my vision.
