It took Stefan Huber 36 averages to get another sub 10 average since his first one. I'm currently on 33 averages and counting. My first and only one was in March 2011 :( (at the time, I was ranked 6th in the world and 0.01 off the current ER at the time :p)

Can some calculate what result on average it took to win an event throughout to years.
for example: in 2003 it would have taken an average result of 18sec to win at 3x3...in 2012 10sec... (this is just an example!)

sorry if this has already been requested...

Number of successful and attempted solves at Worlds 2013? How much is it the most by?

I also noticed that worlds had the best podium by over a second

The second-best podium was Mats+Sebastian+Cornelius, who were places 2-4 at worlds, in the same order, with similar times:

Code:
              German2012   World2013
Feliks                     8.18
Mats          8.59         8.65
Sebastian     8.98         8.86
Cornelius     9.30         9.26

And Mats is now part of the four best podiums.

What is the average of every single 3x3x3 speedsolve in the WCA database? Please do not include OH, feet, BLD, etc.. I am curious only about the speedsolve event.

Just generated these (333 only, as requested):

Mean: 27.356 (σ=24.043)
Mode: 14.72 (582 solves)
Q0 (Min/WR) = 5.55
Q1 = 15.21
Q2 (Median) = 19.75
Q3 = 29.38
Q4 (Max) = 15:08

Could you do this by year to see how this number has dropped?
Sure! Do you want me to do all solves in a single year? Or all solves up until a year?

Also, let me know any suggestions about the program Evan posted :)

One more thing: Percentiles for all results (not by year yet):

I've decided to see how popular certain events were in all of WCA history, and what their progression was/is, and this is what I got.
These stats start in 2003 and applies up to Aug 1st 2013.

Here are some charts that can better illustrate certain things, like even though there were less comps in 2012 than in 2011, the number of events was higher.

Number of official WCA competitions per year since 2003:
