This record was set as part of Toyota Prius Records, a two-day event streamed live on the Internet. In a 48-hour period, URDB officials adjudicated 200 Prius-related world records. This was the most records ever documented in a 48-hour window, a world record in and of itself. The event took place in Los Angeles, California on March 30th and 31st, 2011. See all the records set at the event here.

48 attendees of iD Tech Camp at Villanova University created a ‘Warp Speed’ clap chain that was completed in 0.43 seconds. Each person clapped immediately after the person in line next to them, creating, in essence, a wave of claps. Based on their submission claim, the average length of each individual’s clap was .0089583 seconds. Until we can find a way to measure this and/or future submissions in this category, we consider this submission “pending.” [#iDTech][]
