The world record was previously held by eight Argentinean players for 29 hours in 2008, as recognized by Guinness World Records.

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or record:
“The world is neither wise nor just, but it makes up for all its folly and injustice by being damnably sentimental.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“He will not idly dance at his work who has wood to cut and cord before nightfall in the short days of winter; but every stroke will be husbanded, and ring soberly through the wood; and so will the strokes of that scholar’s pen, which at evening record the story of the day, ring soberly, yet cheerily, on the ear of the reader, long after the echoes of his axe have died away.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
