First Year
- Started the in-Salt/ as-Salt thing at the lunch table

- Made the names of classes into conversation
Came up with the idea of turning the class name (That's Debatable) into a Your Mom style comeback
- Cracked the Wi-Fi password
Knew username, but the password took some time. Eventually during the third week, the program broke through and the RAG had Wi-Fi(you do realize google inspect is way faster right?) In response to the question... Yes but 1). So is getting it from the Lab, and 2). It requires more skill. Google inspect is like making a Smore in a microwave.)(what?)

Rubiks Cubing
- Ben was an avid cuber and always had a cube and a shape mod with him at all times.
- His mains are 2 modified Gans 356s V2s, which Ben would brag about to anyone who was unfortunate enough to ask. Edit: his main is now a magnetic GTS V2
- His backup is a weilong GTS (But he says it's "Too uncontrollable" yeah whatever. you just slow you skrub) Edit: His backup is now a GANS Air.
