Sitting cross-legged in his book-lined library in Faisalabad, Pakistan, 16-year-old Hanzala Nazir wrote "quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog," a sentence that uses all 26 letters of the English alphabet, once with each hand in 29.51 seconds. His right hand dashed off its copy first, then his left hand wrote the same sentence on the other side of the page. A phone stopwatch in the same shot runs from the start call until his left pen lifts, and the finished page shows both copies, so anyone with two pens and a steady off hand knows the time to beat.

Rules

- Write the sentence "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" once with each hand, holding one pen in each hand; the opening "the" may be left out, since the rest of the sentence still uses all 26 letters of the English alphabet
- The hands may write one after the other or at the same time, but each copy must be written entirely by one hand
- Upper or lower case, print or cursive; every word must be spelled correctly and every letter must be legible on camera
- Start with a blank page and a stopwatch at zero; timing runs from the start signal until the last letter of the second copy is finished
- Film one continuous, unedited take showing both hands, the page and the running stopwatch, and show the finished page on camera at the end
