On 23 November 2004, Mittring tried to beat Lemaire's record, but his time of 11.8 seconds was not counted as official, as one organization's rules had decided to stop recognizing records for root extraction of random numbers due to the difficulty of standardizing the challenge.
Den 23 november 2004 försökte Mittring slå Lemaires rekord, men tiden 11,8 sekunder räknas inte som officiell då en berörd organisation har slutat acceptera rekord som baseras på rotutdragning från slumptal, på grund av svårigheten att standardisera utmaningen.
