Cold Killer Beans

I don’t particularly like to eat cold beans. But when a Guinness World Record (or 3!) are on the line, you might find me eating them for breakfast with a toothpick (as my mother-in-law found out this morning). Today I broke my 3rd, 4th, and 5th Guinness World Records Titles during Computer Science Education Week (Dec 3-8). #HourOfCode

The records were in the series of most small pieces of food eaten in a certain amount of time with a toothpick (I have attempted several). Baked Beans has 1, 3, and 5-minute records and I got ambitions and went for all 3 in a single 5-minute run. I beat the first record by 13%, then I got slower. The second record I beat by 7% and the third I just eeked out and beat by only 1%. I actually thought I didn’t break the last record because I thought it was 277 beans instead of 271 (I got 275).

Thanks to all the folks who helped out. If you’d like to find out more about coding, the hour of code, or it’s importance to our world check out code.org

Thanks to the team!
