โItโs funny,โ I told Flewin.ย โWe have an old Nintendo Game Boy floating around the house, and Tetris is the only game we own. My wife will sometimes dig it out to play on airplanes and long car rides. Sheโs weirdly good at it. She can get 500 or 600 lines, no problem.โ
What Flewin said next I will never forget.
โOh, my!โ

TL;DR on the article
The husband was writing an article on classic video game records, was surprised to find out that holding the Tetris record is a bit of a big deal, and mentions how good his wife is at it.
The guy heโs talking to mentions that the record is 327, way lower than his wifes usual scores of 500-600.
They travel to a tournament, and she goes to do her attempt. Just after she beats 327, and is climbing higher, a judge brings up to the husband that the specific version sheโs playing actually has a different record of 545.
She overhears that she needs to beat 500-something, and keeps going, setting the record at 841.
