TOW (& Answer)...

This week’s question was the somewhat awkwardly worded how long did the longest surviving artificial heart transplant patient survive for?  The answer is 7 years 5 months and 5 days.  The patient was Peter Houghton of the UK and the transplant surgery took place in 2000.

The question (& answer) were taken from p. 303 of The Guinness Book of World Records 2013, published by Bantam Books.
