How many current AND past WR holders can you name? (A Sporcle quiz)

[Robert-Y]

http://www.sporcle.com/games/Rawrberty/can-you-name-all-current-and-past-world-record-holders

I was limited to 300 answers so no retroactive WRs. Also no magics or multiBLD old style WRs.
There's no need to worry about accents, spacing or capital letters.
WR holders are listed by the first time they held a specific WR, in chronological order.
Enjoy

cool, kind of unforgiving with spelling and knowing the whole name. but i wouldn't have gotten many anyway.

I got 109/296, or 36%. I then spent the next several minutes kicking myself because I knew all of these people, I swear.

 

[supercavitation]

Got 142/296. I know basically all of 2x2, and the famous people, and that's it.

 

[CyanSandwich]

108/296

At the last minute, I had been stuck on 99 for a while, so I ended up kind of cheating by looking up the spelling of

Spoiler

Erik Akkersdijk's

name.

 

[Meep]

188/296 ):

 

[uberCuber]

Got really confused when Piotr Padlewski wasn't accepted, didn't realize there was another name in between

 

[Evan Liu]

236/296 (80%) first try
276/299 (92%) second try, to get the result saved on my profile

 

[pewpewrawr]

i got 19/299, i'm glad i don't know all this useless information.

 

[rybaby]

175/299

Got all the 3x3 singles, and most other obvious ones.

 

[Julian]

Just did this with Mike Kotch, I got 112, he got 117.

 

[Rubiks560]

It took me around 30 seconds to figure out why Chris Olson wasn't working.

116/299
Missed between 5 and 10 for not knowing how to spell someone's last name. It also happened a few times that I recalled someone's face and first name, but not their last name :/ That was fun!

 

[rowehessler]

249/299 83%...knew pretty much all of the normal cubes, but struggled spelling some names right. Knew almost nothing for feet, clock and fmc

 

[MirzaCubing]

124/299

Would have been around 140 if I had remembered how to spell a few names xP

 

[Iggy]

180/299 :/ Couldn't spell some names lol

Mike Godfrey & Oliver Wolff - The most forgotten WRs

 

[Robert-Y]

I think there are other simple reasons for these records other than the competitors being inactive and the world records being old:
Mike's world record only lasted one round, and Oliver's WR took place at the World Championships 2005 where other world records were also broken/set. It's likely that it was just overshadowed by other world records.
