CHALLENGING THIS WORLD RECORD

Plan your attempt.

Before you turn on your camera, take some time to think about the world record you are about to set. Will you do it alone, or involve your friends? Do you have all the props you'll need? Have you read the rules?
Film with purpose.

You don't need special equipment or a Hollywood director to document a great record. Focus on telling a great story. Aim to make your video entertaining and concise — rambling intros will scare away viewers. IMPORTANT: If you shoot with your phone, be sure to hold it horizontally.

Rules

- Recite the squares of the whole numbers 1 to 50 in order, from 1 (1 x 1) to 2,500 (50 x 50)
- All 50 squares must be correct and in order, with none skipped; a performer may restate or correct a number, but the clock keeps running
- Mental recall only: no written aids, calculators, screens or prompts from anyone else
- The performer must be 5 years old or younger on the day of the attempt
- Must provide one continuous, unedited video in which each square can be heard clearly
- Timing starts when the first number is spoken and stops when the last square (2,500) is finished, measured on the video clock or an on-screen timer
