Hello! I've been thinking about something for a long time: What is an "normal" ratio of singles to averages (is this considered proportions?). What I mean is this:
The ratio of WR single to average for 3x3 is 5.66:7.53 which could be reduced to .752:1 (or just .752)
You could do this for all events (except for 2x2, pyraminx, and maybe 3x3 because scrambles can be lucky).
So the point of this thread is to see what your single:average ratios are just to see what they are, or what they should be. Also, "average" means average of 5 (or mo3 for 6x6, 7x7, and feet), because ao12 isn't done at comp. I must admit that I have really weird proportions, as my averages are awful compared to my singles. So what I'm asking is that you guys take one moment to find your single:average ratios for at least one event. Thank you! :)

EDIT: You can do official or unofficial times just tell me which one you are doing.
EDIT2: You don't have to, but it's helpful to reduce your ratio to end in 1. Example: Reduce 5:6 to .83:1 for the sake of being able to compare. Or just say .83.
EDIT3: Again, for the sake of heing able to compare, please do single divided by average.

OK, so here are all of the WR ratios (The ones with single AND average):
2x2: .325 (.69/2.12)
3x3: .752 (5.66/7.53)
4x4: .917 (26.75/29.17)
5x5: .887 (51.09/57.63)
6x6: .951 (1:49.46[109.46]/1:55.13[115.13])
7x7: .914 (2:41.63[161.63]/2:56.85[176.85])
OH: .744 (9.43/12.67)
Feet: .795 (27.93/35.15)
Pyraminx: .495 (1.61/3.25)
Megaminx: .884 (42.28/47.82)
Square-1: .765 (8.65/11.31)
Clock: .743 (5.27/7.09)
And just for the record:
Magic: .908 (0.69/0.76)
Master Magic .96 (1.68/1.75)
I will hopefully update this every time a WR is broken. Remind me if I don't!
