The organization is marking the milestone by challenging fans to take on 70 record titles that are tracked by Guinness, but have never been set.
The unclaimed records include 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 and the fastest time to arrange a set of Scrabble tiles in alphabetical order.
Guinness is also launching a new Record Selector quiz on its website, which purports to match aspiring record-breakers to appropriate titles to attempt based on their personalities.
“As we mark the 70th anniversary of the release of our first edition back in the 1950s, we’re proud to be building on 70 amazing years as the global curator of superlative facts and achievements,” Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief of Guinness World Records, said in a news release. “We’ve seen so many iconic moments, the most amazing feats of strength and skill and endurance from talent across the globe and long may it continue.”
