It’s hard not to blink, so our fan Sydney B. asked us, how long was the world’s longest staring contest? A couple of years ago, “Stare Master” Stagg and “Eyesore” Fleming stared at each other to see who could last longer without blinking. Stare Master won, holding his eyes open for an unbelievable 40 minutes 59 seconds. But 15 minutes into the contest, their eyes turned red and started shedding tears, so don’t try this at home!

Wee ones: If you blink 5 blinks, what numbers do you say to count them?

Little kids: 4 judges watched the 2 starers to make sure their eyes weren’t blinking. How many judges and starers does that make altogether? Bonus: We blink about 15 times a minute. If you’ve blinked all but 1 of those blinks, how many times have you blinked?

Big kids: Before Stare Master and Eyesore, the world staring record was 17 minutes. By how much did Stare Master’s 41 minutes beat the record? Bonus: Which is faster, 15 blinks a minute or 1,000 blinks an hour?

The sky’s the limit: If one starer lasts 24 minutes longer than the other, and that shorter one lasts only 2/5 as long as the longer one, how long does each one stare?

Answers:

Wee ones: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Little kids: 6 people. Bonus: 14 times.

Big kids: By 24 minutes. Bonus: 1,000 blinks an hour! 15 per minute comes to 900 in an hour. The sky’s the limit: 16 and 40 minutes. If the shorter starer lasts just 2/5 of the other, then the gap between them (24 minutes) is 3/5 of the longer one’s time. If 24 is 3/5 of something, then a third of 24 is just 1/5 of it. 1/3 of 24 is 8, and 8 x 5 = 40. Sure enough, 2/5 of 40 is 16, and that’s 24 minutes less.

All of us, at some point in our lives, have wanted to be a record breaker. Ever since Roy Castle picked up his trumpet and played that theme tune, it's been drilled into us that dedication is all you need to succeed at anything. ShortList is here to help you find your inner record breaker. We've dug deep into the Guinness Book of Records archives and picked out 10 brilliant records you can try and break while in self isolation. These records can all be done in the home or garden, and will hopefully spark a little bit of inspiration for you or your younglings. Now, unfortunately we can't be there, like Norris McWhirter, with a stopwatch and whistle but that doesn't mean that we want any cheating - we've all got Zoom in our homes now, so there will always be someone watching.

Enjoy, and good luck!
