Can someone construct a medal table? (I don't want to do it manually). I'd be interested in seeing it :)

Dan Brown's tutorial is, in my opinion, a very effective method of introducing a non-cuber to cubing. The video is entertaining, the method is scalable to a speedsolve method, and it even explains the concept of the order of an algorithm (if only lightly).

So yes, I absolutely recommend Dan Brown's video for non-cubers who would like to learn how to solve for the very first time.

I understand. He does lead beginners down some wrong paths, though.

Thanks Chris :)

Here's the medal table in a more traditional format of sorted by golds, then silvers etc...
I made one small edit: Hungary have a bronze changed to silver because FM had a =2nd place.

It's a little bit odd that China having so many cubers these days did not fare better in the WC. And how about scoring total points for each nation? Like Gold=6 pts, silver=5pts etc. (6th place=1pt) Just like they do in the olympics and so on. Would be interesting to see :)

The People's Republic doesn't allow its citizens to travel very freely.

So...I was bored. I also wanted to find out how various nations did at the World Championships. I decided to find out the hard way...by getting the results myself. It has been done like the WCA statistics where they add up all the single and average rankings of a person, however, with this, it is the highest average ranking of a country.




Next to the nations are the amount of competitors from that nation and red means that that country did not have anyone competing in that event, so I gave them last place +1 (even in BLD events where the person who came last had DNF's, they still qualified for the event, so the nation that did not qualify should go behind them).

Enjoy!

I did this a while ago. Maybe it would be useful now that people are talking about medal tables...because this goes further than that...

Yea there would be huge visa problems with China, so I would really not recommend having the competition there.

Australia, we could certainly manage it, but it would be very expensive and would require people to travel very far. Every major city in Australia is amongst the most expensive cities in the world.

I know this isn't the most *educated* post ever, but... maybe it would be worth having it in Australia. Even with travel fares and costs.
