    Live now: the highly anticipated Music Box challenge. I'm super excited.

    Let's watch him take like no time at all to finish this after getting back into the groove... Who wants the over/under on 10 attempts to finish it? Who thinks he will need another stream?

      Spoiler He did it in 7 attempts. Took around 45 minutes total. He made it look pretty easy. Was this really harder than the rest of the game?

        Definitely, yes. That area has randomized puzzles, including some combinations of mechanics seen nowhere else in the game, combined with a time limit. He apologized for being so slow, and was very very incorrect.

          Basically, whenever he does this he's subtly insulting just about every viewer, lol.

            He'd have to mean it as an insult which isn't the case. When he says that he actually means it since he still doesn't understand why people want to spend time watching him solve puzzles. The longer it takes, the more he feels like he is wasting our time.

        I'm not a long time viewer but it seemed to me Simon was in really good shape on thursday, the best I've seen him so far (since the beginning of The Witness). If he had been playing Baba Is You he would probably have destroyed it too.

    Finally got the chance to watch this today. The whole thing is worth watching, but for those who only want to see the actual challenge attempts, they start at 52m20s.
