Odd WCA stats/ Stats request Thread

[Mike Hughey]

Any way to find out the longest streak or active streaks of breaking at least one official pb in any event at every comp since they started?

I would love to have this too. I'm chasing Tim Reynolds - he has the longest streak I know at 41, his first 41 competitions. I am up to 36 now - just 5 to go. (It's getting tougher now, though.)

At this point, there are two things I care about at every competition:
1. I have to compete in 3x3x3 BLD - I've never been to a competition where I didn't at least try one 3x3x3 BLD solve officially. I have only 2 of my 36 where I didn't get a successful 3x3x3 BLD (and both of those were in the state of Indiana - I can't do BLD at home).
2. I want at least one PB to keep my streak going.

Anything else I get is just gravy - these are the two statistics I care most about.

I really like to have more complete "Age vs Speed" statistics, as it is now only 3x3 is represented.

Highest standard deviation for an average in each event seems like it might be interesting

 

[TheNextFeliks]

Likely some of the slower as the times should be more spread out.

ok, what about standard deviation:average ratio?

ooh, I'm at 31.

 

[Mike Hughey]

ooh, I'm at 31.

I noticed that - you're catching up! If I want to keep up, I need to get to more competitions.

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

ooh, I'm at 31.

My streak ended at Baltimore Open 2010. Otherwise it'd be every comp.

I'd like to see the countries with the most dense top 10 333 avgs (i.e. top 10 333 avgs which have a small difference between 1st and 10th place). I think Taiwan might be at the top of the list:

I find it rather amusing that the oldest 3x3 solver is nearly 30 years older than the oldest Magic solver.

Sorry, but I just had to BUMP this when I stumbled across it. Why? Because my one and only record was being Australia's oldest active Rubik's Magic competitor at the time of its demise.
I claim to have the World Record on this but, in reality, the oldest Magic solver ever was almost 70! True story!

 

[brandbest1]

Don't want to be a bragger about age, but is Yu Da Hyun the youngest continental record holder ever (megaminx) and am I the youngest NAR holder ever? (magic)

 

[Rune]

Has this happened before? At I AVG 2013 competition in 3x3 the upper four got the same places in the semi as they got in the final.

 

[TheNextFeliks]

Does anyone know the youngest person to get a WR (in any event)?

 

[Username]

My guess is Feliks Zemdegs, but I'm not sure

 

[Jakube]

I don't know their exact ages, but I guess Tang Yiu Chun was way younger than Feliks. He got a WR in magic, though.

 

[Robert-Y]

Does magic count?

Tang Yiu Chun looks really young to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGmbcM9rWCg

EDIT: I'm slow...


Daniel Sheppard won his first comp today (Northern Irish Open 2013). He started competing in 2009. Is this possibly the longest time taken for someone to win a competition (since they first started competing)?

Tim Sun is close: http://worldcubeassociation.org/results/p.php?i=2007SUNT01
If Tim Reynolds wins one it will be over 7 years: http://worldcubeassociation.org/results/p.php?i=2005REYN01

Tim Reynolds ~ 6.5 years
[Dec. 10, 2005 (Rutgers Fall 2005) - July 1, 2012 (La Montagne Open 2012)]

How is Tim Sun close? He won his 3rd competition...
And yeah, Tim Reynolds did win one (two) already.

Whoops. I totally missed that 1 lol.

 

[Robert-Y]

^ Oh wow, after so many comps... Must feel good

Noah: Ah sorry I meant longest time taken to win their first competition.
