Emily Wilson

Using lightning quick wrists and a specially chosen sharpener, Emily Wilson[] sharpened five completely unsharpened pencils in one minute, a new world record. To confirm that the pencils were sufficiently sharp, Wilson successfully popped balloons with each one when the minute was complete.

The feat was achieved on November 24, 2008 at the World Record Appreciation Society’s[] first-ever event. It took place at Asia Roma[], a karaoke bar in New York City. Event organizers Corey Henderson and Dan Rollman were on hand to witness and document the achievement.
