Backing a semi truck into really tight spaces from the blindside. Very hard maneuver even for veterans but where I worked while back I did it daily. Odds are only a couple even have a cdl like me, and then I guarantee I can beat them at backing blindside. Edit: thanks for all the upvotes I’m glad to see trucking being appreciated you guys rock ✌️.

Knowledge on Wisconsin license plate history. I’m autistic and Wisconsin license plates are my special interest, and there’s so few people involved in the research of these plates that I highly doubt I’ll not beat everyone in the group.

Not bragging or anything, but I spent YEARS training to spit tooth paste directly into the sink hole with no splash back or paste getting on the rest of the sink bowl. Bullseye every time.

Touching the highest possible point on a wall without jumping. I’m 6’8” so pretty good odds I’m gonna come out on top.

Filleting salmonids. Its literally my job, and I’ve been doing it for twenty years. I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but I’m pretty good at it, and like any craftsman, my skill has been honed through dint of sheer repetition. I have absolutely filleted hundreds of thousands of fish in my life, and even if you’re pretty good, I’m willing to bet I’m better using metrics of speed, appearance, and % of wastage.

My mother and her friends invented a pig latin style coded language. Probably less than a dozen people have ever learned it, and most of them are in their 70s now, probably haven’t thought of it in decades. I like my odds at a Ybangie (I didn’t name it! Lol) competition.

Acre history. Acre is a Brazilian state, the one which I was born and live on. The population is only 830 thousand people. Hence there is only a very small chance of the random people to be from Acre and an even smaller one of them to know anything at all about it. Of course I could end up being paired with some college professor which Acre is their specialty, and I would be f****d, but since it is random that would be very unlikely.

Chess. Even among chess players on lichess and chess.com I am in the top 2-3%, so the odds that any of the 100 are better than me is fairly small. My luck, I’d get paired against Magnus…

I’d be confident that I’m better than them all at maintaining a consistent TTRPGs group for longer than all of them. I’ve been a DM for 24 years, I had one group for 13 years, and this group for 11. It’s not always the same game/campaign, but we always meet up to play.

Astrophotography. I’m not even that good, but among 100 randomly chosen people, only a handful will even have a telescope (and that’s probably generous). And among those, I’m probably the only one with a camera adapter.

Taking standardized tests is pretty high on that list. I’d also roll the dice on taekwondo forms. In fact, I’d roll the dice on running role-playing games, too.
