Guinness World Records celebrated its 70th anniversary yesterday, marking seven decades since the first edition was compiled in a room above a London gym and published in 1955. To commemorate this milestone, the organization is challenging fans to attempt 70 unclaimed record titles that have never been officially set. Here are some you may be able to do this weekend with family or friends:
·the fastest 400-meter sack race
·the farthest distance to bounce a coin into a cup
·the farthest distance bottle flip
·the most high fives in 30 seconds
·the fastest time to build a five-story playing card pyramid
·the fastest time to make a burrito
·the fastest time to arrange Scrabble tiles alphabetically.
The company has also launched a new Record Selector quiz on its website that matches aspiring record-breakers to appropriate titles based on their personalities.
