Guinness World Records is celebrating 60 years of record-breaking achievements this month. To mark the occasion, the organisation has unveiled a list of 10 new records that range from the amazing to the bizarre.
Among the unusual feats is the longest duration balancing a chainsaw on the chin, achieved by David Rush from the USA, who held the chainsaw for 1 minute and 22 seconds. Another record involves the most spoons balanced on a face, with 87 spoons staying put on the face of Aaron Gregg from Canada.
Other records include the fastest time to type the alphabet backwards, completed by 12-year-old Aadya Karthik from India in 3.45 seconds, and the largest collection of rubber ducks, owned by Charlotte Lee from the UK, who has 5,631 different ducks.
The list also features the longest fingernails on a pair of hands (female), held by Ayanna Williams from the USA, with a combined length of 733.35 cm, and the most consecutive skips on a pogo stick, achieved by Dmitry Arsenyev from Russia with 1,000 skips.
Guinness World Records editor-in-chief Craig Glenday said the new records showcase the extraordinary creativity and determination of people around the world. The full list of 10 records is available on the Guinness World Records website.
