Dear "senior" Cubers,
I wrote a short data science inspired blog post about participating in my first WCA competition as 40+ year old: http://staff.math.su.se/hoehle/blog/2020/01/22/wcascrape.html

Thanks for providing this analysis! In the post "Speedmining the cubing community" (http://staff.math.su.se/hoehle/blog/2019/05/06/wcamining.html) I wrote about an analysis, where I tried to figure out how much a skill outlier I would be as 40+ with a 180s 3x3x3 average at a a potential first...
