Since the official WCA Statistics page is necessarily limited in scope, I'm setting up a WCA Statistics Website (thanks Lucas!). For now, I've put an All-Time World Championship Medal Table.

Goals:
* (unofficial) updated statistics on one website
* user-submitted statistics code (php and MySQL)

Regarding the first point: Although popular statistics may be incorporated into the official WCA Statistics page, some statistics are inherently unofficial, e.g. different proposed global ranking systems. The hope, moreover, is to encourage cubers, especially those without server access, to learn and experiment with php and MySQL.

To do:
* think about how best to set up user submission

If you'd like to contribute statistics code or help with the project, please contact me.

Great idea. I will try to contribute, but I don't know how much I could actually do.

Just a little error, at the bottom of the medal table, I see this:

MySQL Query

SELECT personCountryId,
SUM(IF(pos = 1, 1, 0)) AS gold,
SUM(IF(pos = 2, 1, 0)) AS silver,
SUM(IF(pos = 3, 1, 0)) AS bronze,
SUM(IF(pos <= 3, 1, 0)) AS total
FROM Results
JOIN Competitions
WHERE Results.competitionId = Competitions.id AND
(competitionId = 'WC2011' OR
competitionId = 'WC2009' OR
competitionId = 'WC2007' OR
competitionId = 'WC2005' OR
competitionId = 'WC2003' OR
competitionId = 'WC1982')
AND best >0 AND (roundId = 'f' OR roundId = 'c')
GROUP BY personCountryId
ORDER BY gold DESC, silver DESC, bronze DESC, personCountryId

That is supposed to be there. This is the "code"(MySQL script) that was run against the database in order to get the table. It is there for reference.

I'd like to know what program(s) I can get hold of to run SQL queries on the data base myself. I do this sort of thing at work, but have no software at home...

You can download the WCA db here.

You'll have to do research to be able to run queries against the database on your platform.

13.37 single is impossible to obtain, so do you want the averages ?
I wanted to do that but the database is too big, i can't import it -_- (even in zip format)
EDIT : ok, found a way to do it, here is the query :
Code:
SELECT competitionId, eventId, personName, personId, personCountryId
FROM `results`
WHERE average =1337
I don't know how to make the results pretty, so here is a non-pretty version :p
competitionId eventId personName personId personCountryId

13.37 single is impossible to obtain

Not true... 21 people have managed that (four this year), Phillip Espinoza even twice! Edit: And I just saw him in your average list. Also, Pau Vela García got 13.37 average twice but never single. Besides those two, 61 people got one single or average 13.37.

these must be 11.37 +2, i saw in an other topic (maybe the "odd wca stats") that the stackmat timer can't do this time...

Unlikely:
There have been 22 single 13.37s.
There have been 11 single 11.37s.
Why would a big majority of the 11.37s get +2s?

Continuing down:
There have been 13 single 9.37s.
There have been 8 single 7.37s.
There have been 6 single 5.37s.
There have been 25 single 3.37s.
There have been 18 single 1.37s.

And for comparison:
There have been 366 single 13.36s.
There have been 358 single 13.38s.

The big majority would be because it seems like the only explanation.

Though, there could be a mistake, like judge's handwriting being hard to read (I could definitely be the judge here :p), judge writting the time incorectly, even judge intentionally writing wrong, or a QJ timer.

The 13.36, and 13.38 comparison actually favors the +2 theory,
since you can't get 13.37 on a Stackmat, it isn't as common as those two are.

EDIT:
Ok, it seems the non-memory timers are responsible for most of them.

@Stefan 13.37 might not be an impossible time but it is really rare to get. The people that got a 13.37 single might have used the timers before the memory timer because the memory timer skips times.

I don't know what timer version is used, but this proves that 13.37 should be possible.

(took like 10 sec to search on youtube, maybe because I knew there had been a video up sometime (and still is))

There should be a picture from Worlds 2007 where two people practicing on stage got 13.37 singles on 3x3 at the same time, and at timers fairly close to each other. I remember both solvers pausing so that audience members could take pictures (this was during warm-ups, not during any round). Sadly I don't remember who the two solvers were, I only remember the incident.

The times that seemingly can't be gotten on stackmats nowadays are possible on older timers. My timer is from 2005 and I can get 13.37, 9.99, 0.99, 1.00, 1.01 etc.

Maybe most (if not all) 13.37 was obtained with older timers?

By some weird reason it seems as they went from a perfectly fine time chip to a worse one a few years back. I hope the new 3-digit timers are more accurate.
