Simple LEGO creation goes viral

Twitter has been sharing a twelve year old’s unique LEGO creation far and wide. Joel Willans, from Finland, Tweeted a picture of a selection of LEGO competition entries, with twelve year old Riley’s entry standing out from the crowd – but not so much for its display of build proficiency. Riley’s entry was a 1x4 brick, labelled ‘worm’.
