    Why did it take him so long?

    Perhaps he was suffering from jet lag.

    It still takes a while to install Windows and the drivers...

    Heck, I'd spend at least that long just looking for a dropped screw!

    10k for that?

    For what they had to do, im kinda surprised the winner was a long 4 minutes.

    The contestants must have been chosen randomly from the crowd.
