They even got one step behound: The two rocks you see in the drawing are actually a broken up magnet into it's north pole and south pole, so it's only magnetic when they connect the both with a metal rod. Genius. (ofc that's EXACTLY how magnets work)

I also find it funny how i got introduced to the troll physics meme 20 years before it was called that, as a small child back in the 90s

It's basically the same problem as the sailboat with a fan.
