Over 3,000 blocks: a Canadian amazed the world with his balancing skills while building "Jenga" (1 photo + 2 videos)
Canadian Abbot Meindert de Boer has an unusual passion - he is quite attracted to balancing, which is why he is ready to spend an incredible amount of time and effort on "building" very tall towers from "Jenga". He even manages to build towers on his own head.
32-year-old Abbot Meindert de Boer trains for hours in front of viewers on his own channel "Professor loves to balance", which he runs on the social network TikTok.
Long and persistent training paid off - in June 2024, the Canadian got into the Guinness Book of Records: he managed to stack 3,132 Jenga blocks on one vertical block. For such an unusual record, the man had to use 58 Jenga sets.
When this amount of Jenga was weighed, it turned out that the tower reached 58 kilograms.
Despite such an unusual record, which amazes the human imagination, the Canadian had a personal record when he used an even larger number of Jenga sets. Outside of an unofficial attempt, he made 78 Jenga sets.
When representatives of the "Guinness Book of Records" asked Abbot why he set himself the goal of setting a record for assembling "Jenga", he admitted that he simply felt a certain passion.
"I decided to set this record after I realized my passion for balancing," Abbot said.
When the Canadian managed to set the record, he decided to celebrate it. To do this, Abbot simply destroyed the tower, on the "construction" of which he worked with such incredible efforts.
