Why we deducted almost 6 hours from Hilda Baci's time, Guinness World records gives reason for action

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Guinness World Records has explained why it deducted over six hours from Hilda Baci's official final total.

Hilda had done 100 hours of cooking at her May 2023 cook-a-thon but was recently awarded for 93 hours and 11 minutes by GWR.

Hilda attempted to set a record of 100 hours, however, almost seven hours were deducted from her final total because she mistakenly took extra minutes for one of her rest breaks early on in the attempt.
