The fastest time to type one million, and the world's most powerful pencil sharpener Stewart Newport: We have a record for the fastest time to type 'one' to 'one million' in actual words on a manual typewriter and that record is held by Les Stewart of Queensland in Australia, and he began in 1982 and successfully completed his task fifteen years later. He had dedicated his life to setting this record and to verify it he, very kindly, every year, would tell us where he was up to. So we have, within our files, I think it's approaching 20,000 sheets of paper with the words 'one' to 'one million' typed on them. I believe, because he was injured during the Vietnam War, that he was only able to type using one finger. Dave Hawksett: The world's most powerful pencil sharpener... And there's this is a guy in Scandinavia who has attached a normal antique pencil sharpener to an old tank engine. So that kind of thing is quite common.
