Dear GWR, The vessel is lying at the same height as the caps, which I was told to have. No caps were dropped during the successful attempt, although some did shift slightly while I picked up ones close by. The surface is level, as can be seen by the level water surface. I believe I followed all rules, particularly with reference to where my hands were: I have seen GWR staff permitting hands at the sides, because like having hands behind the back, it ensures the activity is not interfered with. Regards, Alastair.

Dear GWR, the successful attempt preparations began at 5:20, and the successful attempt actually began at 7:36 – you can see the timer I followed. No caps were dropped, although some did shift slightly while I picked up ones close by. The surface is level, as can be seen by the level water surface. The latest successful challenger used a drawer, and I used one too. I believe I followed all rules, particularly with reference to where my hands were: I have seen GWR staff permitting hands at the sides, because like having hands behind the back, it ensures the activity is not interfered with. Regards, Alastair.

Hi Dan, this was done on 3 November 2011. When I watch the video, I think (I think) the 30th die has left my mouth and is already directly above the bowl when the timer goes off. Hence, if the 30th cap dropped vertically at the moment the timer went off, it would land in the bowl, is my reasoning. However, as with attempts under the main system, if GWR decides that only 29 of the caps will count, will this attempt be recognised with a score of 29 – not 30?

About This Challenge

The most bottle caps moved with the mouth in 30 seconds is 45, achieved by Francisco Franco Pêgo (Portugal), in Coimbra, Portugal, on 17 April 2013.

Challenge Rules

You must use commercially available, metal bottle caps, such as those from the tops of glass soda bottles.
The bottle caps should be placed on a flat surface in front of the challenger, not touching one another, and no closer than 300mm to the edge of the target receptacle - a bowl or plate.
The attemptee must only use only their mouth to move the bottle caps, their hands must remain behind their back throughout the attempt.
Bottle caps must be moved, one by one, from the table to the target receptacle with the mouth within the 30 second period without being dropped in order to count.

Hey Francisco, that's an interesting timer you have, which freezes at "0" - long enough for you to move 2 or 3 caps - before ringing the buzzer. At least that's how it plays on my screen. That aside, well done!

There is a bottlecap in tje middle bettwen the box and the table.
If that one counts then it will be 46 the final score.

  Yeah. So was mine thought. Surely the one that fell rolled out won't count.
