Hungarian Builders Bust the Record for World's Tallest LEGO Tower
Posted in: Uncategorized
Just this past week, a team of schoolchildren and workmen in Hungary, Budapest have given us an update to a question we’ve all wondered at some point in our lives: How tall could you possibly stack a set of LEGOs? Answer: 34.76 meters (around 114 feet). The previous record clocked in at 34.4 meters (112 feet, 9 inches) and was put together by a group of Delaware students back in 2013. The building began on Wednesday, May 21 and it was declared the new record holder the following Sunday. The entire structure is made up of hundreds of thousands of LEGO pieces and sits in the shadow of the area’s famed St. Stephen’s Basilica.
To celebrate such an occasion, you had better believe there was a worthy tower-topper. The building team’s finishing touch: a Rubik’s Cube. Fitting, since the puzzle’s inventor—Ernö Rubik—hails from Hungary. Check out this newscast highlighting the hubbub:
