I got a new request for Stefan:

Dan Cohen told me that I sucked at sq-1 recently because I got a one minute solve, and that it is not normal to solve a megaminx faster than a sq-1.. So who has the biggest sq1/megaminx ratio? (and how many does even have a ratio above 1? Luckily I have a ratio under 1, YAY!! )

Not sure this is what you meant, but here's your sq1 record / minx record:

I don't know how difficult this will be; I'm wondering who has spent the most time doing official solves.

Can't do it exactly because FMC times are unknown, penalties are unknown, some multiblind times are unknown, and for multiblind it's not known how much time went into solving and how much into attempting.

But here are the top 10 for sum of solve time as stored, excluding FMC and multiblind:

(I think I can kinda explain this one: in the California speedcubing community, there's a big stigma against Magic because it's the same thing every time, and dumb and easy and fast etc. But I guess Dan finds MM more interesting, as he's competed in it many times.)


More interesting than "fastest" IMO: who's competed in X most times without ever competing in Y? I guess this could be computed for 6x6/7x7, 4x4/5x5, 2x2/3x3, magic/MM, 4BLD/5BLD (each of these in both orders).

i was wondering something similar to this yesterday, but what id like to see more is who has the best/worst 5x5:7x7, im pretty good at 5x5 (1:38 official single) but pretty bad at 7x7 (7 min single)

Can you specify what you mean? I can't really get it.

- some multiblind times are unknown

See the question mark times here: https://worldcubeassociation.org/results/c.php?i=GalantaOpen2009&allResults=1#333mbo

- for multiblind it's not known how much time went into solving and how much into attempting.

That was the last point because it was the least significant, what I meant was that we have the artificial rule about what counts as solved and what doesn't (5/9 is solved, 4/9 isn't), so I don't feel comfortable saying the whole time or none of the time is "solving" time, and if you *solved* 5 of 9 cubes, we don't know how much time went into those 5 cubes (that's what I meant with the time that went into solving (with time that went into attempting I meant the time for the remaining 4 cubes that weren't solved, though I shouldn't have called it that because the 5 solved ones were also attempted)).

hm, this is the first time I see such missing times. Can you say how many of those are there in total?

About the second point: I think the best way to consider MBF attempts is to see the whole attempt as one solve. 5/9 in 40:00 is one solve with a duration of 40 minutes. 4/9 is equivalent to DNF, so no solve. 9/9 in 40:00 is another solve with a duration of 40 minutes - a better one though.

Could you make the list again following this philosophy, which means including MBF?

And maybe a third one including MBF and all FMC-solves counting as 60 minutes?

I'd appreciate that ;)
