[THEME SONG BEGINS]


>> RACHEL: Hey there, it’s time for Chompers! Your morning and night toothbrushing show. Start brushing on the top of your mouth. Pick a side, and brush the inside, outside, and chewing side of each tooth.


>> KIDS: 3, 2, 1 brush!


[THEME SONG ENDS]


>> RACHEL: It's World Records Week, and today we’ve got some riddles to challenge your brain! 


Here’s your first one: 


I’m more than one,

More than two

More than three, 

It’s a whole crew!


What am I?


>> GROUP: A group!


>> RACHEL: I’ll explain after you switch your brushing to the other side of the top of your mouth…


[SWITCH BELL]


>> RACHEL: -and give your tongue a brush, too.


You don’t have to set a record by yourself - you can do it with a group! Like … the time 1,941 people got together to make the world’s biggest floating line in a lake! 


[SPLASH]


>> RACHEL: In a city called Epecuén in Argentina, 1,941 people held hands in the lake to form a chain … and they set a world record!


Switch to the bottom of your mouth…


[SWITCH BELL]


>> RACHEL: -and brush in little circles around each tooth.


Here’s another riddle: 


I’m a group of women

Which means I’m men-free

The number of ladies here

Is 114 plus 3


What am I? 


>> GROUP: 117 women!


>> RACHEL: I’ll tell you what these 117 women did after you switch to the other side of the bottom of your mouth, and brush those molars in the back, too.


117 women is most women who’ve held hands while SKYDIVING at the same time! 


[SLIDE WHISTLE]


That is very difficult to do when you’re floating in the sky with a parachute! These 117 women were from countries all around the world, like Canada, Australia, Mexico, France, Brazil, Finland, Sweden, and Russia. And they all met to do the jump together!

>> RACHEL: That's it for Chompers today, but come back tonight for heroic world records. Until then…


>>KIDS: 3, 2, 1 spit!
