Speed-age factor

[guusrs]

18.48/42=0.44
NB Ron & Ton will be lower!

 

[TheBB]

18.75/23 = 0.815217391

Edit: Oops, was that average, and not record? In that case,

19.91/23 = 0.865652174

 

[Pedro]

15.20 / 23 = 0.66

In 7 days it will be
15.20 / 24 = 0.63

I don't like this ranking system. I forget his name, but the very young Japanese cuber at Worlds who's sub 20 would have something like
19.xx / 7 or 2.75 ish. Say someone is 35 and averages 1:35 this person would also have a 2.75ish in this ranking system. Forgive me if I have the young Japanese cuber's age or fastest average incorrect, I am just going by what I remember. He was absolutely amazing to watch by the way.

This ranking varies directly as time and inversely as age, so very young cubers will have a very large number in this ranking no matter what their solving time.

In short I don't like this ranking, and I don't see a clear way to interpret it at all, but I'll participate anyway :-D

Yoshiki Yumoto is 7 years old, and got a 18.58 avg

so that's 18.58/7 = 2.65

 

[Stefan]

15.27 / 30.87 = 0.49

Lucas, you might get closer to 1 if you don't round your age.

And this is a "ratio", not a "factor" !

 

[Johannes91]

14.45/16.152 = 0.895

 

[Karthik]

23.05/19.74 = 1.17

 

[TobiasDaneels]

18.27/20.76=0.88005

But it has been a while since I did that record, perhaps it will will be lower after next competition.

 

[Erik]

11.7x (lets make it 5)/18.2=0.65

 

[Stefan]

11.7x (lets make it 5)/18.2=0.65

Your time is 13.17, not 11.7x. Smoking too much pot lately?

 

[masterofthebass]

I think he was taking his best avg ever. And I don't think it's his fault if he was smoking too much pot, because he's a college student in the Netherlands... I think that's the most stereotypical smoker.

 

[Erik]

I indeed took my best home avg. With my best comp avg: 13.17/18,2=0.72

oh and I don't do pot, makes you a slow cuber

Oh lan , I wish I lived in the Netherlands.
Ah well, 20 km, from where I live is the border so, ...

Shouldnt it be age/avg? the current way older people have an advantage, i would have thought younger people should?

How does age/avg give younger people an advantage? Better think things through.

How does age/avg give younger people an advantage? Better think things through.

age/avg:

40/40 = 1
20/40 = 0.5
the person of 20 years old would have an advantage instead of

40/40 = 1
40/20 = 2
Where the older person would have an advantage

anyway...
avg/age = 50/15 = 3.3
age/avg = 15/50 = 0.3

Yes, a younger person would have a lower number, but in this case a higher value should be better, because a faster average will lead to a higher number

 

[Jacco]

Yes, that's right
