HTML proficient. Conversational Swedish. Khurshid Hussein has one amazing skill to add to his resume, though: World’s fastest nose typer. Hussein just set a new Guinness World Record for typing with his nose a.k.a. hunting and pecking on a keyboard with his schnozz. To test his impressive, if odd, skill, Hussein correctly entered a 103-character sentence in just 47.44 seconds. To understand how challenging and spectacular that stat is, try tweeting with your nose and see how well you do. Hussein’s nose-typing feat decimated the [old record](http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/records-6000/fastest-time-to-type-using-the-nose/ "undefined") of 1 minute, 33 seconds, meaning not only does Hussein have a fun party trick, but he now gets the plaque to prove it. **MORE**: [5 Ways to Not Get Rejected on LinkedIn](http://business.time.com/2014/03/04/5-ways-to-not-get-rejected-on-linkedin/ "undefined") **MORE**: [7 Signs It’s Time to Quit Your Job](http://business.time.com/2014/02/17/7-signs-its-time-to-quit-your-job/ "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/12790/meet-khurshid-hussein-the-worlds-fastest-nose-typer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/12790/meet-khurshid-hussein-the-worlds-fastest-nose-typer/"},"headline":"Meet Khurshid Hussein, The World's Fastest Nose Typer","datePublished":"2014-03-05T18:06:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:07:29.564Z","description":"Hunting, pecking, sniffing","url":"https://time.com/12790/meet-khurshid-hussein-the-worlds-fastest-nose-typer/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Appreciation","Guinness Book of World Records"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3e42280c35fc20c7/698683f01eebf7ba5f36fa5b/keyboard.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3e42280c35fc20c7/698683f01eebf7ba5f36fa5b/keyboard.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"keyboard","caption":"","creditText":"Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/12790/meet-khurshid-hussein-the-worlds-fastest-nose-typer/","name":"Meet Khurshid Hussein, The World's Fastest Nose Typer"}}]}] ```
