Simple LEGO creation goes viral
Twitter has been sharing a twelve year old’s unique LEGO creation far and wide.
Joel Willans, from Finland, Tweeted a picture of a selection of LEGO competition entries, with twelve year old Riley’s entry standing out from the crowd – but not so much for its display of build proficiency.
Riley’s entry was a 1×4 brick, labelled ‘worm’.
Riley, you’re a genius. pic.twitter.com/Lp3VAf7C2Q

The Huffington Post reported the 70,000 – now having climbed to over 80,000 – retweets that the image received, as Twitter users saw the appeal of this ballsy approach to entering a build contest:
There’s a great future in marketing waiting for you, Riley!
