11 Jaw-Dropping Feats That Take Longer Than Scott Hogan's Record-Breaking Goal

Not many goals are scored much quicker than within the opening 12 seconds of a game, and not many things are completed in that time either. In 2014, MK Dons player Scott Hogan scored what was, at the time, reportedly the fastest goal in professional football history. We have compiled a list of 10 tasks, acts, or feats that people manage to accomplish on average in more than 12 seconds and, as a bonus, one remarkable record achieved in exactly the same timeframe as Hogan's record-breaking goal.

1. Solving a Rubik's Cube blindfolded - Assuming you're not a Rubik's Cube mastermind with years of experience under your belt, this mind-bending challenge will take you several minutes to figure out let alone accomplish within a fraction of this time frame.

2. Cooking a hard-boiled egg - This everyday household chore will take a whole nine to twelve minutes depending on how you prefer your eggs done. This of course is more of preparation and actual time lapse than anything else.

3. Bringing your vehicle to a safe stop on the motorway - The Highway Code recommends that you take at least 69 meters to bring your vehicle to a stop from a speed of 70 miles per hour (113 km/h) . For reference, this is like 10 seconds minimum with very specific circumstances surrounding such an event.

4. Solving a crossword puzzle - As this could imply a wide variety of puzzles ranging from smaller sizes to giant Saturday puzzle crosswords; average completion time may vary depending on difficulty and individual understanding.

5. Writing your signature one hundred times - One hundred of anything you do one hundred times for a start sounds like quite the task, be it any act; all take time. So from this you should see where the comparison to Hogan's fast goal comes into play.

6. Doing 12 reps of a resistance exercise - Even less time per actual rep and exercise involved in this arduous test of agility, the 12-second benchmark puts this test into even more perspective.

7. 3 Gigs saved to hard disk 20 years ago - Advances in technology of course have sped up our ability to complete saving tasks, so you must account for the 12 seconds in prior years to complete task of equivalent difficulty in relative terms.

8. 2000 steps - By sheer will and pure athleticism a certain amount of time spent at a constant jog may come close but never accomplish within such given time constraints, be this on athletic record breakers or common man.

10.

In April of this year a team of scientists and engineers successfully set the fastest ever time to solve this incredibly popular brain teaser, the Slide Puzzle. The automatic solver was able to solve this particular puzzle in just 12 seconds, equaling the speed of Scott Hogan's record, essentially tying this list with an example to the actual challenge such in human goal achievements like Hogan set several years ago.
