Odd WCA stats/ Stats request Thread

[Randomno]

What's the highest number at the end of someone's id eg: I'm LONG06 which seems to be quite high but I'd be interested to see who else has one higher.

06 is nothing. I did this a while ago, CHEN, CHAN, ZHEN, and similar names all reach 40 at least.

Most common WCA ID is SANA?
Funnily enough only 4 people have the Id of SANA.

The top 10 commonest WCA IDs are:

WANG : 500
CHEN : 464
ZHAN : 410
YANG : 201
CHAN : 175
HUAN : 175
KUMA : 144
MART : 135
SILV : 132
ZHAO : 122

I guess WANG and YANG help to make A so common in second position...

The highest number on WANG is 2009WANG85.

They really cut it close eh?

Yeah -- I wonder if they modified the names after that?

Incidentally, CHEN is the only ID substring that's ever gone beyond 85.

At the Slovenian Open, 13/17 (76.5%) events had records broken. Are there comps with higher percentages? (not counting comps with <5 events and WC 2003)

I'm sure there are a few with 16 or 17, since NRs count.

I guess there's lots of different ways of counting this.

For example, at Euro 2012 there were 19 events (no skewb, but there was magic and master magic) and records (NR, CR or WR) were broken in all 19 events. But maybe that's not quite what you meant, as there were competitors from a lot of different countries, so lots of opportunities for NRs in particular.

Can someone figure out the times you have to have in order to be in the top 1% for every event single/average? Thanks!

Here's one that probably won't be around for too long: My national ranking on 3x3 is exactly 400th (11.90)

Also note the huge difference between my best single (11.90) and my best average (15.03)

Feliks Zemdegs has 20 NRs, out of 31 possible (assuming you don't count 4bld/5bld means, which aren't officially recognized except in the misc section)
That is 64.5%.

Not really a stat, but who is the fastest person to get an official LL skip?

We don't know, since we don't know which solves are LL skips and which aren't.
Although you could say that since the chance of a "LL skip" in Roux (the last layer is the M layer) is 1/12, Alex Lau is the fastest, as he's had several LL skips and is 2nd in the world.

Hmmm I was hoping that since most fast people are pretty active on speedsolving or youtube, there might be an answer.

 

[Torch]

Probably Yi-Heng Lee.

 

[Jimmy Liu]

Probably Yi-Heng Lee.

The first solve.

 

[Przemek Kaleta]

Probably Yi-Heng Lee.

Wojciech Knott has better single with LL skip, but he is slower. https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/p.php?i=2011KNOT01
Btw Two guys did the same solution and got LL skips either (both sub7)

 

[CHJ]

not sure whether LSLL counts but faz's 6.02 in his 6.65 avg was an LL skip, even if it was manipulated by quite a bit, if not then wojciech knott's

The Roux "LL skip" is not a real M layer skip since edges are already oriented. The probability of a full M layer skip is 1/96.
But anyway, with people using different methods with different notions of a LL skp, such a stat has no significance anyway.

I don't call it a LL skip myself, but I was suggesting that some people could say it is (I think I've seen one or two people say that before, but I can't remember who or when).
But who said the LL skip had to not be influenced in any way?

 

[bobthegiraffemonkey]

Because if it's influenced, the step you skip isn't LL any more . M layer skip after orienting the edges already is a PLL skip, not an LL skip.

Most LL skips are influenced in some way though. At the very least they solve EO, if not CO too.

How many people are top 10 in at least 5 different events (average/mean) only?
