Sitting still is hard. And watching Mannequin Challenge videos, from sweeping successes to adorable failures, is enough to give you restless leg syndrome.

So just imagine the Herculean effort it would take to get a reported 11,658 people to stand still for more than a minute.

Sports fans congregated at Perth Arena, Australia, on Nov. 13 to cheer on the Perth Wildcats, when event organisers decided to attempt the viral exercise in stillness.

In a crowd that size, it's no wonder there are a few flinches here and there. Overall though? A very impressive effort.

Honorary mention should go to large amount of young people freeze-framed in "dabbing" position.
