First speedcabling competition

According to Official Guinness Records,

The world's first speedcabling competition was held in Los Angeles, California, USA, in January 2008. The aim of this new "sport", invented by IT developer Steven Schkolne (USA), is to untangle a mass of cables and wires in the fastest time and in such a way that the wires can still carry a network signal. The winner of the final ­ in which contestants were required to unknot 12 ethernet cords up to 7.5 m (25 ft) long the hold them above their heads ­ was web designer Matthew Howell (USA). In order to tangle wires in a random and fair way, Schklone knots the wires in a figure of 8 then places them in a tumbledrier.
