Are there any competitions with a beter overall FMC result than the Swedish Championships 2011?

5 sub 30
not a single DNF (24 competitors)
worst solve: 45 HTM

There were some DNFs but they where not reported. Go ask Gunnar Krig why.

Thanks Stefan,
I did not really consider this as the scramble was so easy and DNF's are typically recorded.
Perhaps an edit of the results is in order.

OMG Feliks so many special numbers this can't be coincidence:

ZOMG another proof there must be math involved in cubing!

What percentage of annual competitions have been won with a slower average in a later year?

 

[MaeLSTRoM]

Bump from a while back.

Here's a question.
What person(s) competed in the most events at their first competition?

 

[hcfong]

Bump from a while back.

Well, you seem to be doing quite well with 13 events at Guildford.

 

[MaeLSTRoM]

Heh yeah, I just wondered if anyone else was that crazy

 

[Stefan]

Wait, did you not really compete in bld, fmc and multi?

 

[whauk]

Dang 5.5 tps?! That's crazy. Lol Jackson (Warley) and I met at a comp today and I asked if he had a pyraminx and he was like yeah and told me where it was.. The thing is, I've never picked up a pyraminx before and I had one of my friends scramble it.. And I solved it! I was like !

Nakaji in the semis at Worlds:

Has anyone else ever had the same time on three consecutive official solves in a non-stupid (magic) event?

 

[qqwref]

Are we certain that was a real happening and not a data entry error?

 

[nccube]

I once saw 2 consecutive times that were the same in 4x4:

1:23.58 1:05.65 1:23.03 1:11.31 1:11.31 (Lucarubik at Barcelona Open 2011)

I think I can smell a suspicious twillight sparkle

 

[Anthony]

Are we certain that was a real happening and not a data entry error?

Considering he made the finals, I assume it was legit. The times definitely were displayed on a big screen and I doubt it went unnoticed. It could potentially be quite a large error otherwise.

 

[Faz]

Yes, that was real - it was really odd watching it.

Thought I would kill some time and put my basic knowledge of Excel to use. This list is those who have been world champion in any event at any stage, sorted by those who have been world champion in the most events. If we don't count those who are world champion for DNFing then Dror only has two and Mr. Pochmann only has 3.

Has anyone else ever had the same time on three consecutive official solves in a non-stupid (magic) event?

Not consecutive, but all three of my counting 2^3 solves at Worlds were 6.06. My average was not very hard to compute
