World record attempt for “Longest washing line of socks” falls short

Three hundred volunteers attempted to set the world record for the “longest washing line of socks” in Helmond last weekend. The volunteers scrambled to successfully hang up all 100,000 socks and 105,000 clothespins, but still fell short. But in the end, we came up short by 250 meters.” The problem came when the team still had 15 minutes to go but no more socks left to hang. The washing line was dismantled on Sunday, with some socks being recycled and others hung in the colors of the Ukrainian flag.
