Too old to be fast?

[Ton]

Update of my age vs speed analysis:
http://worldcubeassociation.org/results/fun/age_vs_speed.html

I will turn 80 on Apr 18th 2010 and I expect my first sub-30 in springtime to come.

Very much looking forward to that!

It appears I am the oldest with a sub 20 average and sub 20 single, cool! Ron is nr 1 of the old generation

If Rune Wesström get his time sub 30 , would be very cool, his is now the oldest sub 1 min

Rune take this one home!

Fascinating - it looks like I may actually not be doing too bad for my age. After Ton (who blows me away), it looks like I might be pretty highly ranked for my age, despite not being in the top 2000 overall. I'm surprised.

There were several very young and fast cubers at the recent Malaysian Open, Ron is checking with the organizers.

Yeah, I found this very weird... there were quite a few people at that competition who apparently were 3 or 4 years old and sub-30 (some even sub-20), which I find extremely hard to believe. Something like 7 of the youngest 10 cubers on the list were only at that comp. I am sure that Theethat Jaruwattanakun is legit (there is a video on youtube) and pretty sure about Kento Hiroyama (he has a blog but I can't read it), but the ones above those are highly questionable.

3.97 years 26.95 Arief Maulana
4.07 years 17.00 Jonathan Tan Wei Xiat

Those two are amazing.

Edit: Jonathan Tan Wei Xiat is not 4 years old. Arief Maulana probably isn't either.

There were a dozen mistakes in the registered dates-of-birth of Malaysian Open 2009. I corrected those mistakes an hour ago.
Stefan, please regenerate the page (or include the regeneration in the regeneration script of the Statistics page).

I restarted cubing in December 1999, so I have the advantage of almost 10 years of practice. My average practice is about 30 minutes per day. Most days I solve only a few cubes (mainly 3x3 and 4x4), some days I practice 2 hours (3x3, 4x4 and 5x5).

Have fun,

Ron

Btw, there's a slight issue that I need to fix before this page can be updated automatically and thus regularly. I intend to do that soon, there are just some more important/urgent things right now. Until then, note the "Generated on ..." to see how up to date it is.
