A US man has broken the Guinness World Record for balancing toilet paper rolls on his head.

David Rush managed to balance 101 rolls, on a a single roll placed on his forehead.

Rush, who has broken more then 200 Guinness records to promote STEM education, said the toilet paper rolls were more difficult than his previous balancing records.

He explained that because the rolls aren’t rigid, making it more difficult to get an even balance.

Rush took a while to get the record, recoding it on a YouTube video. There were multiple failed attempts before he determined that the best shape for the stack was a pyramid on top of an inverted pyramid.
