I got 109/296, or 36%. I then spent the next several minutes kicking myself because I knew all of these people, I swear.

Missed between 5 and 10 for not knowing how to spell someone's last name. It also happened a few times that I recalled someone's face and first name, but not their last name :/ That was fun!

249/299 83%...knew pretty much all of the normal cubes, but struggled spelling some names right. Knew almost nothing for feet, clock and fmc

I think there are other simple reasons for these records other than the competitors being inactive and the world records being old:
Mike's world record only lasted one round, and Oliver's WR took place at the World Championships 2005 where other world records were also broken/set. It's likely that it was just overshadowed by other world records.
