    This was 51 paper clips, however, on uploading, I noticed that the timer didn't ring when the clocked stop, and that it rang shortly after. Annoying as I thought I beat it =(

About This Challenge

The longest paperclip chain in 30 seconds is 56 paperclips, achieved by Silvio Sabba (Italy), in Pioltello, Milan, Italy, on 12 June 2012.

Challenge Rules

  • Standard, commercially available paperclips of length no greater than 40mm are to be used for this record attempt.
  • At the start of the attempt, the paperclips must be laid out flat on the table, and the challenger must have his/her hands flat on the table. Once the challenge starts, the paperclips are to be linked in a single continuous chain.
  • Once the 30 second period is over, the challenger must hold up the chain by one end, to show all the paperclips are properly attached.
  • Only paperclips which remain attached as part of the chain when held up like this are to be counted towards the total score.
