Also, I remember reading about someone breaking the record for holding their breath this summer and I remember it being around 30 minutes. Turns out that person used "denitrogenation", which is why it didn't count here. JetPunk teaches me so much useless information xD

Hmmm. On ones I didn’t know, my strategy of identifying the most likely one and selecting the next one past it didn’t work at all. All I did was go past the right one!
