Description
https://statistics.worldcubeassociation.org/statistics-list/oldest-standing-records
The data is completely wrong. Apparently the longest standing continental record was a 3.68 2x2 single ER which lasted for almost 20 years. Many of the supposed-longest standing world records are results that do not even exist because they are listed as averages instead of singles (e.g. Sujan Feist 0.56 2x2 average).
I saw #106 too but figured it's probably unrelated because there have been lots of changes since then.
