I remembered seeing something along these lines a while ago, didn't realise it was as far back as 2012 though: https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/sv6kw/which_is_...

I guess it's something that many people rediscover on a semi-regular basis.

I remember seeing the trick on Tomorrow's World (a UK science TV programme) back in the 90s. Can't find a link to the particular episode though.

I was doing this in the mid eighties... think a teacher showed me it but can't remember... didn't have tv.

I'm pretty sure I saw it featured in an article in Highlights for Children during the 80s.

Do Australians commonly say "elephant" to count seconds as the presenters do? In the U.S. it's usually "one-thousand" or "Mississippi". (I guess I can imagine that Australians wouldn't say "Mississippi"!)

I've never heard of "elephant", no. (Sydney here)
