Odd WCA stats/ Stats request Thread

Fun fact - the last world record was set 43 days ago on January 19. This is the longest world record drought since December 2014 - February 2015 when there were no world records for 70 days.

I suppose these record droughts will become increasingly common over the next years.

True, but we have a decent amount of NaRs and CRs.

I think there's something wrong here lol

I do not know if someone else has pointed this out before or not, but I just realized that there are 2 Ishaan Agrawal's in the WCA database of registered competitors: https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/persons?page=1&region=all&search=Ishaan+Agrawal

And yet there is only one John Smith.

World record for most PRs set by an individual in one comp? I’m gonna try to break this at my next comp haha.

I'd be willing to bet someone has done all (or most) events at their first comp.

It was replying to this post.

Lichao Liu achieved 31 PRs in one competition, as it was his first competition. The op had asked what was the largest number of PRs at one competition.

someone else in china got one comp silver and got 34 iirc as well

 

[asacuber]

huh

 

[Loser]

huh

Yeah I got a few questions about the legality and ethics of that

 

[whatshisbucket]

How many people (like me) have both a 4x4 average and a Megaminx average, but their PB Mega average is faster?

Me!

No idea, but I would guess a fair number of people.

 

[whatshisbucket]

Hm I remembered how to use python correctly. There are 120 people faster at megaminx than 4x4, roughly what I expected.

After finding this I checked a few more ridiculous comparisons:
There are 9 people faster at 7x7x7 than megaminx.
There are 7 people (including 2013FENG02) faster at 7x7x7 than 6x6x6.
There are 2 people (2010RUBI01, 2012SANC01) faster at 6x6x6 than 5x5x5.
There are 6 people faster at 5x5x5 than 4x4x4.
There are 3 people (2012CAMP03, 2007KOLL01, 2014RAME03) faster at feet than OH.
There are 2 people (2012REYE04, 2010AGUI03) faster at 5x5x5 than OH.
There is 1 person (2019KAZY01) faster at OH than 2x2x2.
There are 2 people (2011SILV05, 2015OHHA01) faster at feet than skewb.
There are 2 people (2017PHUO01, 2018KHLI01) faster at 4x4x4 than pyraminx.

One of my major cubing goals is to be faster in OH than both my skewb and pyraminx results (8.2 single and 12.9 average).
