BEHIND THE BOOK

Here’s the quick low-down on the facts behind Guinness World Records and its own record-breaking history.

• It started out as an idea for a book of facts to settle arguments in pubs!

• The first book was compiled in 1954, making it over 60 years old!

• The first published edition was 198 pages long and contained around 4,000 records!

• It has sold more than 141 million copies in 100 different countries and has been translated into 36 languages over the decades.

It is a record holder in its own right. It is the world’s best-selling copyrighted book ever!

The latest edition is out now

and contains thousands of

records with brand-new titles

for twerking, bottle flipping,

Fortnite, fidget spinners and

streaming TV.

Instructions and guidelines:

• You can use any commercially available plastic bottle for your record attempt, as long as it’s 500-590 ml in size.

• Fill about one-third of the bottle with liquid.

• You’ll need to wear a blindfold during the attempt. It must block your sight completely.

• Start with both hands flat on a hard level surface and with the bottle infront of you.

• At the sound of the start signal, you must flip the bottle 360 degrees in the air. It should land upright without toppling over. Remember, you can only use one hand and one bottle for the attempt.

• If the bottle doesn’t land upright, the flip will not count.

• After each flip, you must locate the bottle again yourself for the next try - no peeking! Neither can you be helped by anyone else

• Only these flips of the bottle that are completed within the 60-sec time limit will count towards the total.

Renowned juggler and all-round entertainer Josh Horton (USA) has a number of GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® titles to his name. On 16th December 2018, he flipped a bottle through 360 degrees a total of 27 times. Are you ready to take on Josh’s record for blindfolded bottle flips? Be sure to read GWR’s guidelines first!
