Where Did It Begin?

The GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS book is a

record-breaker itself, but it didn’t set out to be… The book started off as a way to settle an argument!

Thinking Point

Have you ever had a disagreement with someone about a fact? How did you find out who was right?

The head of the Guinness Brewery, Sir Hugh Beaver, was at a party in Ireland. Sir Hugh and his friends got into a disagreement about which the fastest game bird in Europe was. To find out who was right, the guests looked through every book they could find in the library but they had no luck.
The information couldn’t be found anywhere and the argument was left unsettled. Sir Hugh had the idea of compiling a book that contained lots of interesting facts and statistics. He asked twins Ross and Norris McWhirter to start writing it. The first edition of the Guinness Book of Records, as it was then called, was published in 1955.

What Is a World Record?

A GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title is an

achievement that is the best in the world. To be a world record, an achievement has to be the following:

Measurable

Something like being the "most funny" wouldn’t count as it's subjective!

Breakable

A record must have a possibility of being broken.

Standardisable

The conditions must be able to be replicated so another person could try to break the record.

Verifiable

This means you must be able to prove it happened.

One variable

Each record must only be measuring one thing to be the best.
