Odd WCA stats/ Stats request Thread

[Tim Major]

I found this podium interesting, for those that haven't seen the results from Bandung Open 2011: http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/node/1385

The winner came 10th in the first round!
Amazing results

Lol. I'm famous!

Lol. I'm famous!

Once-solve wonder

But congrats. That's how you do it! How you get famous in less than a second.

Interesting, should you have been more or less "famous" with a result of 0.95 sec?

My guess is less. Part of the people must have been looking it up only due to WTF factor of a 3 way tie. At 0.95 s (which may or may not be possible on a Stackmat, by the way), it would've just been "EHH, another stupid 2x2 solve".

What was the scramble for that?

If you look at Stefan's QJ timer review, you see a "hole" at 0.95 seconds. Impossible to get that time on a Stackmat!

EDIT: Sorry Vincents, did not notice you said this already.

Aron, who is probably capable of breaking the WR in MultiBLD, is officially last in the world in Multi. I find this funny. I only saw this because I saw that I am last in North America and 5th to last in the world in Multi. Gotta love the funny point system.

I too find that very funny, and I'm pretty sure he does too.

He should break WR next comp and set another WR for biggest improvement in rankings

I am officially last in two events (6x6x6 and 7x7x7 singles). Anyone beats that?

You could beat your own record by getting an average in 6x6. (e.g.)

Your judge deserves a commendation.

Which thread has the most answers per unit of time at the best chosen time point? (The number of answers >9).

What is a DNS??

Did Not Start

BUT HOW DOES IT HAPPEN????

 

[qqwref]

No need for all caps and multiple punctuation marks... this isn't a huge shock. Anyway, DNS results generally happen when someone is allowed to do a solve, but decides not to. It's in the WCA regulations, which you should read sometime. They happen more often in BLD but they can occur in normal solves too, for instance if someone gets two DNFs in an average and decides it's not worth it to continue.
