An American from Idaho and his seven – year – old son have each won their fourth title in the Guinness Book of Records, after they managed to break a record in the game “Hungry Hungry Hipposão,” playing with their eyes tied.

David Rush, who holds more than 200 Guinness records, again became part of a challenge with his son Peter. This time, they intended to end the game in the shortest time possible, without seeing.

The duo was able to complete the challenge in just 7.03 seconds, overcoming the original 20-second target of Guinness World Records, is broadcasting Telegraph.

Father and son had already set a few records in this game. They held the record for the quickest time of the game by a team of two, with 5.36 seconds, and a team of four, with 3.53 seconds.

David Rush also holds the individual record, with 7.29 seconds, while Peter was part of the team that set the record for age groups under 16, with a time of 5,18 seconds.

Commenting on the challenge, David Rush said that the close – eyed game was both easier and more difficult than the eye.

According to him, lack of sight eliminated distractions and hesitation, since players could not follow with their eyes the cells moving unpredictablely. However, the biggest challenge was finding small plastic levers without seeing it.

Rush explained that Guinness’ rules required that participants start the challenge with the active hand set flat on the table, which made it harder to find the lever only through muscle memory.

He added that he had later learned that another team had reached the time of 15.57 seconds, but their outcome had not yet been verified when he and his son held the challenge. However, the time of 7.03 seconds was enough to secure their title. /Telegraphy/
