Remember that guy who rode 85 hours...
...on a stationary bike? Well, he didn't. During his Guinness world-record breaking attempt, volunteers committed simple arithmetic and time-reading errors which invalidated the man's 85-hour ride. Full story at https://www.newsday.com/news/nationwo...orld-headlines

"And he's planning to try again this summer, hoping to hit 101 hours over four days."

About 40 volunteers took turns logging Hood's efforts, but they made addition and subtraction mistakes and had trouble reading a 24-hour clock, Guinness officials said.

You Know!? For Kids!
how hard is it to preplan ? If you are starting at noon on monday, and want to ride 85 hours, you stop at 1 AM on Friday morning. All they had to do was tell the volunteers to say stop at 1 Am on Friday.

And my girlfriends' son wondered why I would refuse to let him use a calculator in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL to do math work.
