Odd WCA stats/ Stats request Thread

[XTowncuber]

e.g. a T-Perm occurs as a kind of parity (I think this is meant)

well yeah, but going by this definition, the only WCA events that don't have parity are skewb, pyraminx, and I think clock. (honestly I've never solved a clock so idk)

 

[TMOY]

And megaminx too. Clock doesn't have any parity (or at least any parity idefined in a similar way as on the twisty puzzles) because you don't apply any permutation to the clocks, you nly twist them.

If parity puzzles refers to puzzles with each turn being an even permutation with any turn being composed by at least 2 piece groups with odd permutations, then the megaminx can be included as a non-parity puzzle aswell

Great list! I love that my 2 older daughters made the top 250. (37 competitions, all attended together, 28,917 km.)

I see two other pairs like this in the list: Akiko and Kouichi Tabuchi (9 competitions, 46,036 km) and Enrico and Zoltán Rudasi (2 competitions, 9791 km). I admit I did this by visual inspection, though - I might have missed someone.

And it turns out that Takao is in fact the man. His distance exceeds #3 Ron van Bruchem by more than the circumference of the earth!

You forgot Kang Lee, 7 competitions, 61681km

Out of curiousity, how is this calculated? I figured it was total distance between each pair of consecutive competitions, but when I tried this using this tool, I got about 15,500 km, much lower than the 21,400km I'm listed at.

 

[Lid]

Your starting point is your first competition. I used the coordinates that are in the WCA DB. The distance was then calculated using the Haversine formula.

(Here is your detailed view Kit.)

Got it - looks like I understood the method correctly, it's just that Canadian Open 2013 was erroneously placed in the default location of California, giving me an extra 5000-6000km or so.

Rephrased - what's the success rate for all official 3BLD attempts in the WCA database?

Ah, I was expecting around 1/3, not really sure why Thanks!

Kinda half bragging but still interesting:

3 Asian cubers have surpassed the current official 3x3x3 average Asian record, yet none of us holds the record

I count 4. You, Corny, Bill and Alex?

 

[Robert-Y]

Nah Corny doesn't have enough Asian blood, doesn't count...
Actually I'm not entirely sure about his ethnicity haha

All I know is his mum is Taiwanese. And I think he can also speak Taiwanese fluently.

 

[CyanSandwich]

Going by the best in the world, ranking each event from fastest to slowest (excluding FMC and multi. Using averages except for 4 and 5BLD)...

Who has the biggest gap of being faster in one event than the normally faster event?

I really can't put it into words too well.

For example: The highest possible would be having a faster 5BLD single than your 2x2 average.

 

[guysensei1]

If we ranked people based on their worst time ever attained in an event in their entire competition history,

Who would have the fastest worst time? Where would people like faz stand?
