Dec. 9 (UPI) -- A puzzle enthusiast from Malaysia broke a Guinness World Record by assembling a Mr. Potato Head toy in 5.43 seconds.

Lim Kai Yi of Butterworth took on the record for fastest time to assemble Mr. Potato Head, which requires applicants to start with a fully dissembled toy and add the feet, arms, face and hat to the plastic potato.
