š„ Rapidfire Review
We were going to call this section āhereās what you missed on gleeā but we didnāt want to jinx this newsletter.
For the 5th time, the YouTube channel has a new name. Goodbye Sabrina & Friends, hello Answer in Progress. We had spent months trying to figure out the smoothest way to change the nameā¦ and then threw all that work away and just changed it on a random Thursday morning.
In a crossover you didnāt expect, we are producing an original series with Red Bull called Brain Power where we interview elite athletes and figure out how their brain go brrr while competing. The first episode is out now where Melissa interviews Formula One driver, Pierre Gasly. Click here to watch.
We heard yāall regarding Patreon and wheels are in āØmotionāØ. Weāre talking behind-the-scenes podcasts, directorās commentary, and more! The newsletter & its exclusives will always be free and funky; we just hope to build a cool option for people who want to throw a couple extra dollars our way :)

š A Closer Look
Brain Power marks Answer in Progressā first major production outside of our YouTube channel. This series with Red Bull might come as a surprise to a lot of you since the three of us donāt really scream extreme sports. Hereās a closer look at the origins of the partnership from Sabrina:
Idk if yāall know this but Iāve worked with Red Bull in the past. That video about speedsolving technically originated the Answer in Progress format (start with an interesting question, record the journey of discovery, fail miserably but learn something cool along the way). All those elements were naturally a part of the speedsolving video and I loved it! Over the next two years, I refined the process and dragged Melissa and Taha into the chaos.
Naturally, it felt like a full circle moment when we had the opportunity to pitch Brain Power and continue onto our next step as semi-professional fools just trying to figure stuff out.
Bonus fun fact, the person behind the camera in the speedsolving video, filming me at the world championship qualifier, is Melissa!
š¢ Help Us Out
With the Patreon launch coming soon, we realize we suck at naming tiers.
We need three tier names. The base level might be something like š” neighbourhood nerds or š grasshoppers (ask Melissa about that one bc her mind works in mysterious ways).
We would love to hear any tier names you might like!
Thank You
Thank you for subscribing and following our journey. The three of us hope you find something fun to fuel your curiosity!
from ur neighbourhood nerds,
Sabrina, Melissa, and Taha<3
