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 one AA battery of any brand and one cup of any material and size
Hold the cup upside down in the mouth by biting its side at the rim; no more than 2 centimeters of the cup may be inside the mouth
Stand the battery upright on one end on the base of the cup; the performer or a helper may place it by hand
Timing starts the moment the last hand leaves the battery and ends the moment the battery falls off the cup
Once timing starts, the cup is held by the mouth alone and nothing may touch the battery; no glue, tape, magnets or other supports or adhesives
The time may be read from a stopwatch shown on camera or measured from the video itself
Must be one continuous, unedited video showing the cup, the battery and the performer's mouth from the moment the battery is let go until it falls
Must provide video evidence
