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?

does DNF count?

does DNF count?

No. Otherwise many people will be at DNF.

From a fail video I've seen on YouTube it seems Faz will keep going even after a major pop when others would DNF it so I'd be surprised if he's very high up.

His worst is 20.83, so, that sounds pretty low to me

but nothing compared to Hyeon Kyo Kyoung's 12.21 https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/p.php?i=2013KYOU01

Most gold medals at a single competition?

I know Dan at the Northern Irish open must be very high up in the list if not top.

How many haven't gotten a DNF? How many excluding BLD?

How many haven't gotten a DNF? How many excluding BLD?

With blind: 17005 of 30503 have a DNF or more = 44.25% without, François Courtès tops at 700 DNFs.

Without blind: 16544 of 30503 have a DNF or more = 45.76% without, Erik Akkersdijk tops at 355 DNFs.

Most solves without a DNF, Robin Verstraten: 337 (has not done any blind.)
There are 12 people that has no DNFs that has done blind. Most solves 24 shared by Kevin Longou & Kaoru Maeda (前田薫).

Most solves without a DNF not counting BLD events, Renhard Julindra: 397

Most solves: Sébastien Auroux, 8829, not counting blinds: 8240
Most DNSs: Tomasz Żołnowski 84, not counting blinds: Gaël Dusser, 26
Best % successfull solves (minimum 1000): Matteo Provasi, 99.92% (1207/1208)
As above but with a successfull blind: Dene Beardsley, 99.04% (1545/1560)

Longest time taken to achieve a sub 10 avg of 5 in 3x3x3 since the competitor's first competition?

I think it's Bence: http://cubecomps.com/live.php?cid=466&cat=1&rnd=2

His first competition was Dutch Masters 2008.

So it's 2059 days! Or 5 years, 7 months, 21 days.

What's the record for longest time taken to reach sub-10 single? I know I was approximately 6 years 11 months.

At least over 10 years. https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/p.php?i=2003VAND01

Update Requested by Anders Larsson: http://hem.bredband.net/_zlv_/rubiks/stats/travel_ALL.html (Most distance traveled)

This is amazing. Does this update automatically? Damn I need just a competition in Oceania to reach the first 15-20 (26th now).
Man now I need to book another ticket, I was planning to save money...

I think Martin just set the record for the lowest sub 9 average (8.50) for someone who has never achieved a sub 8 solve (officially). His pb single is only 8.09 :O

Nikolay Evdokimov is still more impressive. Or unimpressive I guess.

What is the largest disparity between a single and average 3x3 time?

 

[kcl]

What is the largest disparity between a single and average 3x3 time?

iirc a few pages back this was answered, 17 second solver french guy or something got a 7 but I bet there's one from a person who averages like 40 getting a 15 or something.


In addition to ChickenWrap's question, what is the smallest difference in a 3x3 single and average time?

edit: probably not the greatest disparity, but this was the guy I was talking about

Come to Australian Nationals in Sydney, I mean, if you're ever going to come to Oceania you might as well come for the biggest comp.

A question that came up this weekend: who has the greatest number of 10.xx 3x3 averages without a sub 10 average? I've got eleven now.
