In a competition held in Singapore some time ago, 16-year-old student Ang Chuang Yang has earned a place in the record books, thanks to his fast thumbs.

Yang typed a 160-character SMS message in just 41.5 seconds, beating the previous record by less than a second. The 26-word text reads “The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human”.

He claims his secret is using a phone with a larger keypad. Ever thought how fast you can type this?
