The most prominent Guinness World Records in 2023

Arabia Weather - The Guinness Book of World Records is a reference book that documents unique and global achievements that differ from the usual traditions. The book features a record of rare achievements, where there is only one copy of each unique achievement, and when that achievement is surpassed by a greater achievement, the old is deleted and the new appears.

The Guinness Book of World Records is published annually, and over the years since its inception, the book has continued to top international bestseller lists. The encyclopedia is an accurate reference used to know records, as many seek to break new records or improve existing achievements.

At the end of this year, I bring you some of the best records achieved during 2023.

On June 21, 2023, we witnessed one of the most delicious innovations of the year, as a team of professional chefs from several famous hotels created a pizza measuring 40 meters in diameter and weighing 26 tons in a stadium in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

This giant pizza was divided into 81,000 slices and distributed among spectators and charities. This unique feat breaks the previous record of 37.4 meters and 23.2 tons, set by Dovilio Nardi and his Italian team in 2012.

The largest collection of rubber ducks

On March 1, 2023, Charlotte Lee from California, USA, presented her unique collection of 8,026 rubber ducks in various shapes, sizes and colors.

Charlotte Lee began collecting these rubber ducks in 1996 and continues to do so today. It broke the previous record of 7,631 rubber ducks, set by Xie Xuemei from China in 2019.

The Queen of Birthday, a girl with Down Syndrome, memorizes the birth dates of 70 celebrities in three minutes

On June 22, Hala Heidi Kreuter, a 26-year-old resident of Coventry, UK, revealed her unique talent: memorizing the birth dates of celebrities. As a result of this unique skill, Heidi earned the title “Queen of Christmas.”

After honing her memory skills through months of exercises, Heidi succeeded in achieving a record, as she was able to memorize the dates of birth of 70 famous people in the world, with their full details from day and month, and this achievement was recorded within a short period of time not exceeding three minutes.

The fastest time to solve a Rubik's cube blindfolded

On April 12, 2023, a young man, Max Park from South Korea, solved the Rubik's Cube puzzle with his eyes closed in a time of 6.82 seconds during the Asian Cubing Championships in Seoul. This achievement led him to smash the previous record of 6.88 seconds, set by Jack Kay of Australia in 2018.

If entering the Guinness Book of World Records and achieving a world record gives a person fame based on his achievement, then this fad may be the focus of attention, as he talks about it in an unconventional way. For example, there is a strange case that happened in Nigeria where a person lost his sight in order to set a Guinness World Record.

The fastest parrot rides a bike

On September 13, 2023, a 7-year-old parrot won the title of “fastest parrot riding a bicycle,” breaking the Guinness World Record for riding a two-wheeled bicycle. The smart parrot, named Chico, who lives in Bulgaria, covered a distance of 5 meters while riding his scooter, according to the official website of the encyclopedia.

This parrot began training when it was just three months old, and after several days of breaking the record on the set of the Italian TV series “Lo Show dei Record,” the parrot achieved a new achievement by breaking its own record with a time of 14.58 seconds.

The longest distance traveled by a human artillery shell

On January 15, 2023, we saw Eddie “The Rocket” Jones fired from a cannon at speeds of up to 120 km/h, traveling a distance of 85.6 meters before landing safely on a net. This impressive feat broke the previous record of 78.54 metres, set by David Smith Jr in 2011.

The smallest wooden spoon in the world

On September 1, 2023, young Indian artist Shashikant Prajapati was able to enter the Guinness Book of World Records after designing the smallest spoon in the world. This small wooden spoon is currently only 1.6 mm (0.06 in) long. Its design features a clear bowl and handle, an exact replica of a standard wooden spoon.

This world's smallest wooden spoon holds the current record at 1.6 mm in length, clearly demonstrating the skills and creativity of Shashikant Prajapati in achieving this unique artistic feat.

The most push-ups in one hour

On May 25, 2023, Tazio Gavioli from Italy performed 3,877 push-ups in one hour in a gym in Rome. These achievements break the previous record set by Carlton Williams of Australia in 2017.

In addition, there are a number of Arab individuals who have succeeded in entering the Guinness Book of World Records, and their achievements have been documented on the Sayidaty website. You can see details about them by following their topic on the website.
