Getting ready for the Guinness World Record

Setting the Guinness world record carried lots of remarkable experiences. We were in a position to have a conversation with different kind of people, visit many institutions, even international giants. Organization of this kind of event depended on numerous activities for which few people would believe had to be done.
We interviewed lots of people in terms of their expectations and willingness of an average passer-by to take action, we consulted experts in psychology and mass control, struggled to get umbrellas... One of the easy assignments was watching the shadow from the City Hall tower. Yes, you got it right! We got the keys of the balcony, bought milkshake at McDonald's and went to perform the task. The shadow began to move, and we were observing how quick it passed over the Subotica's central square.

During this "hard" work, we called our girlfriends and told them what we were doing and how "hard" was on the job. I won't comment on what they had replied to us. :) After hour and a half, we just wrote down our observations and continued with further duties.
That day, we visited all buildings around the City Hall and took pictures by which we could plan further activities.
