Wow, there's a Guinness World Record for identifying fonts. Could you beat it?

This week it's the 70th birthday of the Guinness Book of Records, that gloriously bonkers compendium of human achievement that celebrates the people who can stuff the most marshmallows in their mouth, balance the most spoons on their body, and hula hoop underwater for the longest time. It features everything from standard athletic victories to "most high fives in 30 seconds" and "fastest time to make a pasta necklace."

From most high fives to blowing a stamp 10 metres - Guinness World Records unveils 70 unclaimed titles to mark 70th anniversary

The organisation's first volume was published on August 27 1955 and sparked worldwide curiosity about record-breaking achievements. The inspiration for the book came from a debate at a shooting party in the early 1950s in County Wexford, Ireland, which was attended by Sir Hugh Beaver, the then-managing director of the Guinness Brewery. He and his hosts debated the question of the fastest game bird in Europe but failed to find an answer in any reference book.
