Are you talking about two separate records, or the single record for the longest-and-loudest fart?

What would be the criteria for the longest-and-loudest fart?

Simply this: a single unbroken fart that is both LOUDER (according to a professional decibel meter) and LONGER (according to an atomic clock) than any other recorded fart

Given the set of all farts, there would necessarily exist a maximally loud-and-long fart.

That would be the world's record.

Wait. Wait a moment. What I just wrote is incorrect!

Given a set of two farts, and fart A is louder than fart B, and fart B is longer than fart A, which is the "world record?" It's a paradox!

But that is an edge case. Let's "bar this monster" and stick with typical cases, where there are large sets of farts, shall we?

I offer a conjecture: there will exist a single unbroken fart that is both LOUDER (according to a professional decibel meter) and LONGER (according to an atomic clock) than any other recorded fart IFF (if and only if) the set of farts comprises only one, or more than two, farts

Think with me here, GBS!

My god! Germstore, you are right.

DOes there exist a minimal number of farts that the set of farts would need to contain in order to guarantee the existence of a single loudest-and-longest fart?

Are YOU the world record holder?
