Tallest lego tower - Guinness World Records

D.R. Niraj Adhikari, 9 January 2016 - Guinness World Records, known from its commencement in 1955 through 2000 as The Guinness Book of Records and in previous U.S. editions as The Guinness Book of World Records, is a reference book published annually, listing world records, both human achievements and the extremes of the natural world.

The book itself holds a world record, as the best-selling copyrighted book of all time.  It is one of the most frequently stolen books from public libraries in the United States.

The international authorization has extended beyond print to include television series and museums. The popularity of the franchise has resulted in Guinness World Records becoming the primary international authority on the cataloguing and verification of a huge number of world records the organization employs official record adjudicators authorized to verify the authenticity of the setting and breaking of records.

 Here in the video we can see the tallest Lego tower in the world, which was built by Lego Italia, built this. It stood at 35.05 meters tall, or about 114 ft and 11 inches. This world record is like a slow-paced game of Jenga, in which the title creeps a little higher and a little higher each year.

 A 2013 tower made it to 112 ft, 11.75 inches. The tower took four days to build and the record was verified at the weekend. The lego tower was constructed in front of Saint Stephen’s Basilica in Budapest and was topped off with a Lego version of a Rubik’s Cube.
