Aymen Saleem, a second-year A’ Level student at Karachi Grammar School, Pakistan, was browsing newspaper headlines in her living room, when she came across a story about the world’s largest cake. The story sparked her curiosity and soon enough she was searching for her very own record to break. After a quick search on Google, she found the perfect challenge.
All she needed was 19 willing girls and a Smart Car, a two-door micro-car manufactured by Daimler AG in France and Germany. Luckily for Aymen, she happened to have one of them parked in her very own driveway. It was a birthday present from her father Yousuf Saleem.
One day, Aymen and 18 other girls, from different A’ Level institutions across the city managed to break a previous record by fitting into the vehicle with its doors closed for five seconds. The current official record holders are the Climb FitTeam of Australia who compressed 18 students into a standard Smart Car at the Warringah Mall, Sydney Australia on January 25, 2010. Guess some of these records will never be broken, right? Realistically speaking, there is a number the smartcar can’t accommodate no more. Whoever will get to carry the day.
