The only problem with having an entirely new uni group is having someone shake hands with you in a bus when you don't anticipate it and you try to avoid awkwardly squinting at the person to find out who they actually are
So this is a story all about how one man got a world record on a very simple game called Dragster. The man was Todd Rogers, and the score he got was 5.51.
Except that the time he got is provably impossible. The game is so simple that you can simulate it using an excel spreadsheet; and no matter how perfect you execute it, the lowest possible time is 5.57. Since 1982, no one ever got even close to the same score he got.
There is no video proof of the record; Todd was caught several times trying to falsify the record; and yet somehow there are still people trying to defend an impossible score.
The reason is that there is a website that is maintaining the leaderboard, called Twin Galaxies, and it's slowly fading into obscurity. So.. they're trying to hold on to that record for however long they can; despite the fact that speedrun.com, an arguably more popular leaderboard, does not even list the score.

Omnigamer, the person who started digging into the game found out that the WR had a very high chance of being faked: https://www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/comments/6b60z3/the_35year_wr_solving_atari_2600_dragster/
And so, the idiots of TG challenged him to get that time of 5.57, since no human has done that either. And in two days of practice, he fucking gets it: https://youtu.be/PhDn2rObduA?t=4m
Now we just wait for TG's reaction, which I know is going to be pretty juicy.
