I've successfully calculated the full lists for the sum of single and average ranks (done with Excel). :D
I omitted the magics since they will be removed starting next year. Also, the rankings do not reflect the changes following the SESC/Santos 2012 results which were posted earlier today. Those should be the only discrepancies you see between my lists and the top 10 available on the WCA site.
If anyone finds others, please do point them out, and I'll try to fix them.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16017198/Final_Avg.txt

Edit: Added ranking numbers down the left side for easier viewing (not taking into account ties, though).

Cool! Magics were killing me. Now I'm #39 (with the updated results from SESC Santos) for single and #68 for average.

Odd is not the right word for this i guess, but after my last competition my 3x3 singles and avgs are virtually the same all over the line. NR singel is 71 Nr avg is 71, CR singel is 1468 CR avg is 1444, WR singel is 5498 WR avg is 5385. Singel time is 19.52 and avg 23.12.
 
I've made the versions with names instead of IDs, but it's not as neat/pretty - those with long names will have their row offset by a bit. Oh well, at least it's still the same order of events...

You could format it so that the name is the last column, that should fix the alignment issue.
 
Hi guys. I have the 7/24 version of the db and I'm ready to rock...

fastest people whose first competition was in 2012?

their likely the different rooms, but still the same venue
 
I've requested this before, but I don't think anyone managed to do it:
Sum of single/average ranks but for countries rather than individuals. So for each event you would take the NR holder and look at their world rank in that event, and then sum the ranks.
I'm still failing to set up the database on my computer, otherwise I'd give it a go myself :(
This was way harder than I thought it'd be. Here is the top 25.
Code:
id       sum of ranks
Poland            172
Hungary           216
China             240

Japan             301
Indonesia         380
United Kingdom    440
Netherlands       449
Thailand          522
Sweden            617
Italy             670
Canada            690
USA               702
Russia            867
Spain            1179
Australia        1290
Taiwan           1355
Brazil           1376
Malaysia         1400
Korea            1536
Denmark          1556
Austria          1904
Philippines      1985
Finland          2099
Mexico           2260

My ridiculously ugly queries:
Code:
t:update countryId:((1!select id, countryId from persons)@/:personId)`countryId from ranksSingle
w:{?[y,'([]x:(count y)#x);((=;`countryId;`x);(=;`countryRank;1));0b;(`eventId`worldRank!`eventId`worldRank)]}[;t]
w2:(select worldRank:1+count(i) by eventId from ranksSingle) &/: 1!/:(w each exec id from countries)
rSums:flip (enlist `rsum)!enlist raze {?[x;();0b;(enlist `sum)!enlist(sum;`worldRank)]`sum} each w2
`rsum xasc (select id from countries) ,' rSums

It seemed strange to me to see USA with a score so high (702), so I checked manually single ranks:

3x3 Anthony(10), 4x4 Dan(11), 5x5 Dan(3), 2x2 Rowe/Vincent(4), 3x3 BLD Alexander(16), 3x3 OH Rowe(10), 3x3 FM Tim(4), 3x3 WF Timothy(21), Megaminx Jonathan(6), Pyraminx Drew(8), Square-1 Andrew(5), Clock David(6), 6x6 Kevin(1), 7x7 Dan(4), Magic Patrick(6), Master Magic Ernie(1), 4x4 BLD Chris(5), 5x5 BLD Chris(8), 3x3 Multi BLD Mike(19) = 148

Am I right, or I misunderstood this stat?

This is also what I thought he meant.
 
Oh, I see what's going on. Some people are listed as being from multiple countries and my query was apparently choosing the OLDEST one, so for our 3x3x3 rank it found Kamaru-Deen Lawal listed as from the USA but having a country rank of 1. His world rank was over 500 :p

How about such a ranking but you don't take each country's best person's rank but only consider countries? For example for 2x2x2 single, Italy would score 1, Netherlands 2, USA 3 and so on (ignoring that Italy has the top three persons).
 
What...the first think I see in the tables is, that Asian contries obviously suck in singles compared to average. Possibly because of a lower competition density over there?

But Japan have 15 competitions this year up until September...that seems like a very high density. They are 'bad' at singles because they have no great bld solvers, and because they presumably haven't had a lucky enough 2x2 scramble yet. Thailand don't even have a 4/5bld yet.
 
Asia has lower competition density? Not really. It's probably about their results, not about competition density.

Code:
January 1, 2012 - July 29,2012

Asia 		61 competitions
Europe  	57 competitions
North America	35 competitions
South America	16 competitions
Oceania		 3 competitions

It's also worth to notice that most of Asian competitors only competes in their home countries. So density to the whole continent seems doesn't affect their ranks.
