Why Guinness World Record Deduct 7 Hours From Hilda Baci’s 100 Hours Cook-a-thon.
Hilda Baci’s official final time was reduced by over six hours, as stated by Guinness World Records.
Hilda was successful in winning the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking hour; however, Guinness World Record removed 6 hours from the 100 hours she cooked.
Hilda completed a 100-hour cook than in May 2023, but GWR recently recognized her for 93 hours and 11 minutes instead.
She is only permitted to take a 5-minute break after every hour of cooking, but it has been reported that Hilda took an additional 5-minute break during the first hour of the attempt.
In a broadcast via its verified Twitter handle, GWR explained the deduction thus:
“However, anyone attempting a marathon record receives five minutes break for every hour that they complete.
“This is to allow suitable rest breaks for the participants, due to the prolonged nature of these records. “In this case, there was a miscalculation when it came to Hilda’s rest breaks, meaning we are unable to award the 100 hours claimed.”
“Hilda attempted to set a record of 100 hours, however, almost seven hours were deducted from her final total because she mistakenly took extra minutes for one of her rest breaks early on in the attempt.”
After reviewing all the footage, we're delighted to announce that Hilda Baci is the new record holder for the longest cooking marathon (individual) 💫
