Tom got the top 7 right, by far the closest out of anyone.

Can someone make a statistic on which attempt most of the 2x2 sub1 singles happened? Right now for me it looks like many of them where on the 4th solve. A distribution would be interesting :)
 
I'm a little curious about percentage of first time competitor trends. I just went to my first comp last month and fully a quarter or maybe a third of the competitors were first time along with me. I don't really know the history but it seems like we're in yet another resurgence?

This is fairly usual from what I can tell. This isn't necessarily a sign of growth, as a majority of competitors in the WCA have only ever been to one competition (35762 out of 62113). The community has a very high turnover rate, so while we're definitely growing quickly, just looking at new competitors at competitions doesn't give that good of an idea.

You may be interested in this graph compiled by @Tim Reynolds that displays the number of active competitors (at least 1 competition in the past 364 days) over time by continent:

I went off of CubingUSA so there are some people who aren't listed in Cubing USA rankings.
There is also the issue with foreign people registered in some states so I only included people that list USA as their country in the WCA.
There are obviously some people who don't have the US on their ID (Chester) that do live here but I figured it was nice to have a clear line.

I probably will make a Kinch Rankings too for this.

Any chance this state sum of ranks thing could be redone, or perhaps automated?
