As mentioned earlier, the Guinness Book promotes several records that are internationally recognized. Such records can be either in terms of human performances or in terms of extremes in nature.
For a record to be highlighted in the Guinness Book of Records, it needs to be measurable, breakable, standardizable, verifiable, based on a variable and the best in the world. In addition, the edition has several internal policies in the selection of a record, such as, for example, activities that may cause physical or health damage to the competitor, a record that puts an animal at risk, a record that promotes food waste will not be considered, as it violates the values of integrity, respect, inclusion and passion. All these factors can “invalidate a record”, that is, if it is harmful, they do not consider it.
A new achievement that was highlighted in the year 2022 was that of a German named Florian Kastenmeier who achieved a new record world wide collection of 1519 rotating puzzles - different Rubik's cube style puzzles of all shapes and sizes sizes.
Florian is 40 years old and in his statement he stated that his love for puzzles started when he was just 16 years old. As a teenager, he found an old Rubik's Cube while cleaning out the attic at home and fell completely in love. Florian grew thirsty for new cubes and new challenges, buying more and more puzzles.
A curiosity about his puzzles is that one of them is shaped like a tennis ball and was given to Florian by tennis champion Boris Becker.
