A man from Andhra Pradesh has earned a Guinness World Records title for typing the numbers from one to 50 in the fastest time ever recorded. Mejari Mallikarjuna from Punganuru typed the numbers in just 13.16 seconds. To make the record, Mallikarjuna had to punctuate every number with a full stop.
This record was broken on June 11. As per the Guinness World Records, Mallikarjuna undertook this challenge to improve his self-confidence.
On Wednesday, the Guinness World Records shared a clip of Mallikarjuna’s record attempt on Twitter.
This video gathered over 35,000 views. In the comments, many people claimed that they can type faster than Mallikarjuna. Commenting on it, a Twitter user claimed, “I think I did this in less than 10 seconds that one time. I don’t think this could be counted as a record”.
This is not the only typing-related world record broken by an Indian. Previously, S K Ashraf from Telangana created a world record for the “fastest time to type the alphabet” with 3.37 seconds. Ashraf made this record on October 10, 2017.
Last year, a similar record was created by Mikaeel Faraz from Pakistan who typed the English alphabet on a touchscreen mobile phone in 3.01 seconds to make the world record. He earned this record in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on July 18, 2022.
