Looks like Nipat's single rank is so high because he doesn't do any blindsolving (thus getting high single ranks and *no* corresponding average ranks) and did participate in FMC but poorly (thus getting a high single rank and *no* corresponding average rank). For 3x3 BLD alone he gets 1350 of his 3980, that's 34%.

Oh hey I have over 5000 posts.

I just checked: out of the top 8 of the second list, only Robert has an official 3BLD result.

Note that Jeong Jong-Ho has an official multiBLD result but no single BLD.
 
I have a stat request that I just thought of. Sum of single ranks for the 5 'only single' events (3bld, 4bld, 5bld, mbld, fm)

Funny that you thought of that one, seeing as you have almost a 50% lead over second place :P

Code:
WCA-ID	        Name	                Average Single 	Ratio
2006GARR01	Lucas Garron 	        4687	4238	1,105946201
2007NAKA03	Yu Nakajima	        4141	3883	1,066443472
...

Yeah, I've always taken that path... but not by choice.
I blame it on the MGLS (it tends to be very nice when you get the relatively frequent easy cases / ELS skip, but some cases can leave you feeling unprepared for fast CLS). :P
 
Sorry for double posting, but I decided to make some analysis by comparing the single and average ranking of those being in both lists (which turned out to be 87 people) as I saw that my single ranking is better than my average ranking and that this wasn't the case for some examples I checked. Indeed I'm one of only 5 people. This is the result:
I'd be interested to see this result when only considering events that have both single and average. So, that would exclude FMC and all BLD-type events. Anyone up for calculating the ratios? I think the luckiest and unluckiest cubers would be much more interesting to see in that case.
 
Danish Open 2012, held last weekend, was the 1000th WCA competition.

Erik Akkersdijk's last solve of the Altbier 2012 final was his 1000th 3x3x3 solve in competition. This makes him the first person to achieve such a feat.

If you include all 3x3x3 variations including old multiblind, I think it's a very close race between Erik and Clement around 1800-1900. (Had to reboot and lost the unfinished code and don't want to do it again right now.)
