Magnet World Records

Yanhao Deng of Chenzhou, Hunan, assembled a 51-piece magnetic world map puzzle on a bedspread in 2:07.90. The pieces start scattered around the empty base board next to a phone stopwatch; Yanhao starts the watch, fits the continents and oceans into the frame country by country, then taps the stopwatch once the last piece is in. RecordSetter read the stopped time of 02:07.90 in the close-up at the end of the video, followed by the finished map. Geography class, at speed.
