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

- Use two standard D batteries and one magnet ball
- The magnet ball must hang from a key by magnetic attraction alone, with no glue, tape or string
- Both batteries start lying on their sides on a flat surface, with nothing touching them when the stopwatch starts
- Hold only the key: hands and fingers may not touch either battery or the magnet ball once the stopwatch starts
- Stand each battery upright on its end using only the magnet ball; no glue, stands or other supports
- A stopwatch is started on camera before the magnet ball touches a battery and stopped once the second battery is standing
- After the stop, both batteries must stay standing on their own for at least one second, with nothing touching them
- Must be one continuous, unedited video showing both batteries, the key, the magnet ball and the stopwatch
