Yanhao Deng of Chenzhou, Hunan, turned five upside-down plastic bottle caps onto their sides in 4.82 seconds using only one hand. The caps start open side up in a row on a desk in front of a phone stopwatch propped against the wall, and the same right hand starts the clock, tips each cap up until it stands on its side like a little wheel, and stops the clock once the fifth is up. RecordSetter read 00:04.82 on the stopwatch close-up, checked that the other hand never enters the shot, and watched all five caps stay standing on their own until the clip ends. Five caps, five tiny wheels, one hand.

Yanhao Deng of Chenzhou, Hunan, stacked five plastic bottle caps upside down into a freestanding column in 3.15 seconds using only one hand. The caps start in a row on a desk in front of a phone stopwatch, and the same right hand starts the clock, sets each cap open side up on the one below, and stops the clock once the fifth is on top. RecordSetter read 00:03.15 on the stopwatch close-up, checked that the other hand never enters the shot, and watched the column stand on its own until the clip ends. Five caps, wrong way up, one hand.

Yanhao Deng of Chenzhou, Hunan, stood up five square plastic bottles in 5.24 seconds using only one hand. The bottles start lying on their sides in a row in front of a phone stopwatch propped against the wall, and the same hand starts the clock, sets each bottle upright on its base, and stops the clock once the fifth is standing. RecordSetter read 00:05.24 on the stopwatch close-up, matched it to the gap between the two taps on the video, checked that the stopwatch was reset to zero before the run and that no second hand touches a bottle, and watched all five stay standing on their own for several seconds after the stop. Five bottles, one hand, just over five seconds.
