[01]
Overview
A creator challenges two online 'experts' to guess his height. The experts then conduct an absurdly detailed investigation, using clues from his video's background, his other social media posts, and obscure product knowledge to deduce not only his height but also his exact home address. The video culminates in the two experts breaking into the creator's apartment while he sleeps to physically measure him and confirm their guess was correct.

So apparently, there's these two guys on this app who rank, like, guess people's height. Bro, there is no way that they can guess mine. To start things off, we used a logarithmic function to determine your distance from the door frame behind you. Assuming it's a standard 80 inch door, we can then deduce your height using simple trigonometry to be five foot nine. But door frame sizes can vary. So this tier, we wanted to take an extra step, which leads us to this heating panel on the wall behind you. That type of heating panel was only manufactured in the late nineteen seventies by an HVAC company named Trane. Using that information In addition to knowing you're based somewhere in Los Angeles we were able to deduce that you live somewhere within these 10 square city blocks. And it doesn't take a genius to see that you have a south facing balcony patty. After a comprehensive search of those 10 city blocks looking for buildings that meet those criteria, we discovered that you live at 3029 Chandler Boulevard. Is that the guy? Yeah. Yeah. That's it. Yeah. What's that say? 59. Are you serious? Yeah, dude. We got it right? Yeah. Good good. Hold the thing down. Yeah. Yeah. Hello?
