Now Juliet, what Guinness World Records
title will Wallace be attempting
0:04
Wallace is going to attempt the fastest time to slice a bell pepper.
And there are a few important rules that you need to be aware of
0:11
First of all, once I give you the start signal, you need to chop
the top and the bottom of the pepper off and remove the core
0:18
Then you can start slicing. You need to
slice a minimum of 10 strips of similar size
0:25
And once you've finished slicing the pepper,
give me a signal and I will stop the stopwatch
0:29
Got it. Okay. Please be nice. Please be a good pepper.
This is an official Guinness World Records attempt
0:38
In three, two, one, go. Stop
0:52
Now that was quick. Was it a
kind pepper? It was. It was
0:56
There was like nothing in the middle.
No crazy surprise. Not a lot of seeds
1:00
It was a good pepper. Right. So we've got a good
feeling about this. Fingers crossed. Fingers crossed
1:04
Only one person who can tell us. Juliet. So Wallace,
the minimum time to achieve the record is 10 seconds
1:16
Now you did actually cut the pepper in under 10 seconds.
However, some of the slices are not fully cut through
1:24
And unfortunately, there are only seven slices, a
minimum of 10 that I was able to count as valid slices
1:31
So unfortunately, it's not a Guinness World
Record title today, but a valiant attempt
1:37
Got it. Wallace, the hope's not over there though,
is it? Surely we've got to have another go at this
1:43
Is that all right, Juliet? Yes,
I think we can go for it again
1:47
Do you want another go? Yeah, absolutely.
Right. Let's do it. Okay. Let's do it
1:51
That wasn't to be this time. That's right. How are
we going to do it slightly differently next time
1:56
Just a little more focus. It was so close. So, so close. And
that's the difference between, you know, Guinness World Records
2:03
You got it this time, Wallace. Yes, sir. Let's do it. This is an
official Guinness World Records attempt in three, two, one, go
2:14
Stop. Wallace, in order for this to be a valid attempt,
you needed to slice a minimum of 10 strips of pepper
2:26
You sliced 15 strips. So this is a valid attempt. In
order for it to be a new Guinness World Records title
2:34
you needed to do it in a minimum of 10 strips of pepper.
So, you need to do it in a minimum of 10 strips of pepper
2:40
In order for it to be a new Guinness World Records
title, you needed to do it in a minimum of 10 seconds
2:46
Wallace, you achieved 9.43 seconds. That
is a new Guinness World Records title
2:54
Congratulations. You're officially amazing. Thank you.
Yes, you did it. Is that the most tense you've ever been
3:00
This one definitely is. It's just coming
off of obviously the first failed attempt
3:05
knowing that I could do it, having to do it.
And it's like, you know, I got more slices
3:10
But then the time was like, did I make
the other part? So, okay, we're good
3:15
Your technique works. We're good. Exactly. But
Wallace, that's not enough. We know how good you are
3:20
Can I set you a challenge? Okay.
Let's do it with a blindfold
3:25
This one's going to be crazy. All right,
let's give it a shot. Let's do it
3:29
You're just about to attempt the fastest
time to slice a bell pepper blindfolded
3:34
In three, two, one, go. Stop
3:52
So in order for this to be a valid attempt,
you needed to slice a minimum of 10 strips
3:59
You did 11. Okay. And in order for it to
be a new Guinness World Records title
4:04
you needed to do it in under 15 seconds.
Wallace, today you achieved 10.78 seconds
4:13
And it's a new Guinness World Records title.
Congratulations, you're officially amazing
4:20
This one is extra, like, just the variables going on.
There's a lot of things that could have gone extra wrong
4:27
Super challenging, but you did it. Is there
anything you can't do with a blindfold on, Molly
4:32
