I only partially did this weekly more than a month ago and never submitted. After that I couldn't participate until today, so I am just posting these here for archival: 2x2x2: 7.41 1:09.29 6.60 6.06 6.88 3x3x3: 18.92 20.65 22.46 17.55 15.91 4x4x4: 1:04.88 1:14.67 1:09.08 57.82 1:04.63 5x5x5...

Those are amazing stats. Not only showing the absolute amounts of competitors having gone way up, but the level of all cubers has gone up even more. Literally every stat in their shows a big improvement. I really wish this statistic could be shown in 2, 4 or 5 year increments on the official...

I keep on winning

I thought it would be time for some analysis after the last 6 weeks and just before my next WCA-comp: Format: Average of 2018-32 till 2018-37 (Recent), 2018-37 (Latest), PB-Historical. Expectation is that they go from slow to fast. Hope is that the middle one is going to be the fastest. 2x2x2...
