A Twitch streamer, Doug Doug, challenged his chat to count from 1 to 10 in order. If they succeeded, he would "explode" (likely a game or simulation consequence). The streamer implemented various rules and modifications throughout the stream, such as allowing duplicates, lowering the goal to 5, and implementing slow mode. Despite initial struggles, the chat eventually counted to 5, then 6, 7, 8, and finally 10, overcoming obstacles and demonstrating their ability to work together. The streamer provided humorous commentary and encouragement throughout the challenge.
Here are the key facts from the text:
1. The challenge is for Twitch chat to count from 1 to 10 in order.

3. The host will drive around the entire map of GTA 5 while Twitch chat tries to count to 10.
4. The challenge is set up so that if someone in Twitch chat says a number that is one higher than the current counter, the counter will increase by one.
5. If the counter reaches 10, the host will "explode".
6. Initially, duplicates are allowed, but later the rules are changed to only allow each number to be counted once.
7. The host tests the counter system with the sound effects and buzzer sound for resets.
8. The first goal is set to count to 5, which Twitch chat successfully achieves.
9. The goal is then increased to count to 6, which Twitch chat also achieves.
10. The strategy of distracting chat with a topic of conversation is used to help count to 7 and 8.
11. The host then introduces a new strategy of only allowing subs to type, which helps count to 9.
12. The final challenge is set to count to 10, which Twitch chat successfully achieves after a motivational speech.
