21.00 FMC WR average now 11th longest lasting record in the history of the WCA

[OtaMota]

Today, Cale Schoon’s first 21.00 move FMC average set on January 18, 2018 is now the 11th longest lasting record in the history of the WCA. Currently lasting 1316 days, it has surpassed the length that Mirek Goljan’s 28 move FMC single has lasted set back in 2005 and broken in 2008.

The 16 move FMC single.

The 16 move FMC single.

That’s the longest current standing record, but while it’s no longer the current 2x2 record, the 0.49 lasted for almost 7 years and is the longest standing record in the history of the WCA. (Minh Thai stood for 20 years, but that was before the WCA)

that's interesting. how was this discovered?

 

[OtaMota]

I went here to find any records that lasted at least 3 calendar years like 2011-2014. (https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/records?show=history)

I used this website to calculate the number of days between when a record was set and broken. (https://www.timeanddate.com/date/duration.html)

I looked for the top 20 longest lasting ones and made a list out of them.

Why is on the WCA website then?

Why is on the WCA website then?

Because the WCA was able to access the results of the people who competed then, but they were not an organization until 2004. The 2003 championships and a couple of 2004 comps were also not under the WCA
