I just beat the Guinness world record for speed-picking by 4 seconds!
Single-pin-picking, 8 differently-keyed, 4-pin, standard¹ padlocks, in 56 seconds.
And I did it while wearing a fluffy bear suit.
¹ the current record holder used laminated Master locks with no security pins, but I didn't want all the comments on my video to be "Master lock sucks" jokes, so I used Brinks instead.
@alice Congratulations. 🥳 Bonus points for doing it in a bear suit. I would make sure they include that in the record description.

@gollyhatch the Guinness record states single-pin-picking. In most of the competitions I've seen, they don't differentiate, but some limit your tools to non-rakes. You could totally still zip with a hook, but if you're submitting video like above, it's fairly obvious if you're not single-pin-picking it.
@alice @briankrebs Thanks for clarifying. The only competition I attended (to watch, not participate) was a key impressioning competition of the local lockpicking club, but it was a very small event and felt more like a family BBQ with four or five participants and the grand prize was a pack of stickers or something. Damn, now I really wanna get out my tools and start picking again.
Anyway, good luck in your record attempt!

@drwho yup. I'm going to try for 9 locks in under a minute.

@alice Wait, hold up, is that that bear suit where you were all, "Gee, I don't know, should I buy this? What do y'all think?" and people were like, "Duh, OF COURSE you should get that thing!"
If so, that was an excellent choice.
