A Singaporean woman has set a world record for mobile-phone texting, keying in the benchmark phrase “The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human.” in 43.24 seconds, without the benefit of any predictive text utilities.
I tried it on my phone, and it took me about 1.5 minutes — to get through the first three words.

Even so, “A Singaporean woman has set a world record for mobile-phone texting, keying in the benchmark phrase (below) in 43.24 seconds, without the benefit of any predictive text utilities.” cannot be the benchmark phrase. How would the woman know that she would do it in 43.24 seconds?
