GWR Day 2011: Gizmodo UK vs Gizmodo US - fastest time to type the alphabet on an iPad world record
The team from the recently launched Gizmodo UK took on their US counterparts in a transatlantic tech challenge for Guinness World Records Day.
With a time of 4.7 seconds to beat, both offices went about trying to set a new benchmark for the fastest time to type the alphabet on an iPad.
Despite a sterling effort from Editor Kat Hannaford and News Editor Sam Gibbs in the UK, the US earned the bragging rights with video editor Woody Allen Jang clocking an incredible, world-record-setting time of seconds.
