  I can't quite comprehend how a human would be able to achieve 24s

    There is a factor of luck here. I can usually get to 128 or 256 in that time, but it really depends on whether you focus on doubling up a single square or cleaning up the board.

      256, sure, but 2048 would take 8 times as long

    Oh, it's not obvious at all from the UI, but the left-most column is a link to the video of the run: https://www.speedrun.com/2048/runs/zxwdol8m https://www.speedrun.com/2048/runs/zxwdol8m

    In the early phases of the game, just mashing two adjacent arrow keys (say, left and down) will get you pretty far without any thinking whatsoever. You only need to slow down when the board is about three quarters full.

  as a former record holder (1m18s, 2015) it's been fascinating to see this number go down over the years
