Brian Pankey spun a basketball on 12 different objects in one minute. He spun each object individually and in alphabetical order. The objects used include: an apple, a baseball, a cigar box, a dart, an egg(raw), a Fushigi ball, a golf ball, a hammer, an iron, a jar, a knife, and a lighter. He also used a mallet and a nail, but these objects went over the one minute time limit and were deducted from the final count.

Six-year-old Abhinav Taluri of Prosper, Texas, stood in his living room and named all 50 U.S. states in alphabetical order, Alabama through Wyoming, in 27.85 seconds. The first grader introduces himself on camera, then recites without notes while a stopwatch on the TV behind him runs from his first state to his last, all in one continuous take. We checked the audio state by state against the alphabetical list. That is a new state roughly every half second, a pace that would trip up plenty of grown-ups.
