LOL ITS YOU

[RyanReese09]

Biggest difference in time between one official BLD solve, and the next one? Can be different competition results, of course.

Ratio of worst 2x2 single to worst 3x3 single?

[theZcuber]

Austin, don't know the exact single (I didn't download database), but I do know the worst person for single.

3x3 : 9:53.53 (there's a 10 minute time limit)
2x2 : 5:01.58 (no time limit?)

Ratio 2x2:3x3 - 1:1.968
Ratio 3x3:2x2 - 1:0.508

Whats the shortest search term that yields only one person? For instance, "wone" will only return me, and "y-m" will only return Aron Puddy-Mathew. "Vro" returns Bradley Vrooman. Are there any shorter?

Also, how many people do not have a unique WCA search term, and what is the longest term to return multiple people? ("Bob Burton" will always return Bob Burton and Bob Burton Sr, so Bob Burton [Jr] does not have a unique search term)

Just a quick search I tried.

[Tim Major]

I found 1 works
people were trying random things then I typed ,wca 1 on irc and it worked. Not sure if it still does.

Edit: Damn you Zane.

And what about long first names. Alastair is 8 characters, and common enough to have two occurences. Any beating Bob Burton? Maybe long common last names or relatives.(India/Sri Lankan people often have long last names, we need siblings or father son )

[qqwref]

Don't forget Proceso Flordeliz (All three of them have something after the name though, so they do actually have unique search terms. But the name itself still returns multiples.)

[Olivér Perge]

If you notice it again, I'd like to know about it. Any idea how that happened? From score sheet to WCA page, I don't see how one would screw that up.

I am pretty sure those times are extra attempts. They are usually on the bottom of the paper therefor easily can be considered as a last attempt.

But even this should be fixed by the WCA delegate who double checkes every single score card after a competition. (Bence, I hope that was not a competition where I was the delegate. :P)
