Yanhao Deng of Chenzhou, Hunan, stacked five square plastic bottles on their sides into a freestanding tower in 2.80 seconds. With the bottles lined up on a desk beside a phone stopwatch, Yanhao starts the clock, sets four empty clear bottles one on top of another over a yellow bottle with liquid inside, and stops the clock as soon as the fifth is in place. RecordSetter read 00:02.80 on the stopwatch close-up and timed the gap between the two taps on the video to confirm it, then watched the tower stand untouched while Yanhao showed that a top bottle was empty. Five bottles, one tower, under three seconds.

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.

Yanhao Deng of Chenzhou, Hunan, built a 3-2-1 pyramid out of six small square plastic bottles in 2.61 seconds using both hands. The empty bottles start on their sides in a row in front of a phone stopwatch propped against the wall; Yanhao starts the clock from zero, sets three bottles on the desk, two on top of them and the last one on top, then stops the clock. RecordSetter read 00:02.61 on the stopwatch close-up, matched it to the gap between the two taps on the video, and watched the pyramid stand untouched for several seconds after the stop, including a low look from the front. Six bottles, three tiers, under three seconds.

Yanhao Deng of Chenzhou, Hunan, stacked five square plastic bottles on their sides into a freestanding column in 5.68 seconds using only one hand. The bottles start lying in a row in front of a phone stopwatch propped against the wall, and the same right hand starts the clock, sets each bottle on its side on top of the one below, and stops the clock once the fifth is in place. RecordSetter read 00:05.68 on the stopwatch close-up, checked that the clock started from zero and ran in step with the video, saw no second hand touch a bottle, and watched the column stand on its own for several seconds after the stop. Five bottles, one hand, one tower that holds.
