The oldest gymnast in the world and a huge walker: what have the authors of the Guinness Book of Records 2019 prepared for the public?
The authors of the Guinness Book of Records have supplemented and expanded the list of categories, adding several interesting novelties. In particular, it should be noted "The highest column of dice on a cat's paw" or huge figures from LEGO.
The 2018 edition focuses on the movement of inventors and creators. This category involves, for example, the construction of a huge water pistol or a stunningly detailed embodiment of the "Statue of Liberty" from LEGO.
The authors note that they did this in order to make their famous book even more popular. If earlier its distinguishing feature was a dry statement of facts, this year readers will see a publication that focuses on modern and interesting records to the public.
