I predict that the US will take a solid lead fairly soon. Andy, Ravi and I are all on the verge of sub 10 in comp (10.01, 10.06, 10.16 respectively) so it's only a matter of time.
Not to mention Kevin, Andy and JT are all already within half a second as well (10.36, 10.43, 10.50).

This isn't really a "stat," but has anyone ever been to a competition where a non-cuber signed up, didn't even know how to solve the cube, but thought that they could just "figure out" the cube once their turn came?

There was a legend in the California cubing scene about a guy who showed up to a competition several years back with no idea of how to solve the cube, but figured he could probably get it during his attempts. Needless to say, he didn't.

What's more, though, he tried to do it blindfolded too! As the story goes, he only looked at the five visible faces without picking the cube up, and then put on the blindfold and did random turns until the timer ran out. I think I remember hearing that they didn't even bother to write the DNFs down because it was so dumb...

I can't remember the cuber but it was a Chinese cuber who came all the way to U.S.A just to do magic at a comp that I went to I the spring of 2011.

ROFL. I knew someone would find this. There is an explanation. xDD
My cube popped twice, and I reassambled it cause I didn't want a DNF average, and with the DNF I forgot to start the timer because I am a noob.
xDDDD

 

[rowehessler]

Here's a weird one:
Me and Yu Nakajima,
both tied at one point with 8.72 single in 3x3
now tied with 8.91 average in 3x3
first sub10 avg by each of us: 9.96
first sub9 avg by each of us: 8.91

has anyone else ever been tied with someone for both single and avg? Even at the same time? For any event?

 

[Hippolyte!!!]

Before WC 2009, Breandan had 9.28 official single, and Kanneti did the same at this comp (it was his best too).
Also at WC 2009, Breandan do his 10.74 avg, and Kanneti did the same a few month later, while it was still Breandan official avg.
(but he got a 9.09 in his 10.74 avg, so they were not tied for both single and avg in the same time)
