So,there were very close finishes in OH finals at DSO' 13,just difference of centiseconds between 1st and 2nd,and 2nd and 3rd.

http://live.cubecomps.com/live.php?cid=211&cat=13&rnd=2

I would like to see a list of closest finishes ever arranged in order for all the events in the world.Both for between 1st and 2nd place,and between 2nd and 3rd place.
Would like to see a list of it country-wise too.Thanks

I know this is a lot to ask but since we are two months away from the 10 year anniversary of the 2003 World Championship, which was the first official competition (aside from the 1982 WC), it would be interesting to see the evolution of the # of competitors throughout these 10 years of WCA, with a chart illustrating it.
Ideally, it would be nice to have it monthly based, but that would require 12*10 values on the XX axis, so it would be a big line chart, but still it would be interesting to see how the number of registered competitors has evolved since WCA's inception.

I'm curious to see the slowest 3x3x3 solvers with a BLD success.

Decided to take this into my own hands. I'm not experienced with SQL so I used R instead.

Code:
wca = read.csv("wca export.csv")
blind = wca[wca$eventId == "333bf",]

blindsmall = blind[,c(5, 7)] #name and best time, BLD
successes = blindsmall[blindsmall$best != -1,] #eliminate DNF averages
success = as.character(unique(successes$person)) #create a unique list of names
loopnum = length(success) #number used in for loop later

speed = wca[wca$eventId == "333",6:7] #name and average, speed
speed = speed[speed$average > 0,] #eliminate DNF/empty values

vec = 0 #placeholder variable
for (i in 1:loopnum) { 
  res = speed[speed$person == success[i],] #table of 3x3x3 averages for blindsolver i
  vec[i] = min(res$average) #takes the best 3x3x3 average
}

output = data.frame(name=success, time=vec) #arranges the two vectors of names and best 3x3x3 averages together
output2 = output[is.finite(output$time),] #Inf was result for blindsolvers with no 3x3x3 average
output3 = output2[order(-output2$time),] #order from highest to lowest

And here's the top 100. Names with special characters didn't translate well.
Code:
                                                     name time

Can someone post the traditional Worlds Attended so far lists?

List 1: A list of all competitors who are registered to attend Worlds 2013, ranked by how many world championships they will have attended by August 1st of this year.

List 2: A list of all WCA competitors who will have attended at least one world championship by August 1st of this year, and the number attended by that date.

Actually, there was also 2003, with Dror Vomberg getting 2 DNFs. There is talk now on the delegates' group to possibly have those results restored. (So sad for him - he's never had a success (yet), but on one of those 2003 attempts, he only made a mistake on the last 3 cycle.)

I'm very jealous of Chris and István with their near-50% results. I've had a particularly bad run lately; I keep telling myself that it will get better soon. I'm running close to 70% now at home, so I hope I can start to do better in competition.

This person is sub-15 for 3x3, but his fewest moves attempt... over 500?
Gael Dusser (along with some other people) used to "troll" FMC events by trying to put as many moves as possible into their solutions. They would add things like (R U R' U')x6 just to increase move counts. This is why the WCA imposed an 80-move limit.
All of his regular 3x3 solves were also done blindfold-style.
