3. Why Hilda didn't get 100 hours

According to Guinness World Records, a challenge participant is expected to take a five-minute break after every hour. However, Hilda took elongated hours at some point.

In that light, some hours were deducted from her challenge, and she was given 93 hours and 11 minutes.
