3x3 and 4x4 progressions latest years in competitions...!

[Mr Cubism]

The 3x3 and 4x4 (and of cause all other events too) progressions in competitions the latest years are amazing:

A reflection:

3x3x3 avarage sub-11
Before 2009: 0.
Only 2009: 15 results (not persons)

3x3x3 single sub-10
2006: 0
2007: 7
2008:26
2009:90 !


4x4x4 avarage sub-50
2007: 0
2008: 2
2009:37

4x4x4 single sub-40
2008: 0
2009: 6

Crazy isn't it. It's not in many things that the world-records are a third of what they were when it first started.

Hmmm, interesting.
I wonder where this is headed.
I wonder how far CFOP can go.

Every puzzle has progressed a fair amount recently (almost). Look at 2-5, OH, BLD, megaminx, pyra, sq-1, magic, FMC, 4x4 BLD, multi. Its just how things work, people get faster over time.
