Surviving records
The records that refuse to die, oldest first. The 3×3 Fewest Moves single has stood 2,640 days and nobody has come close enough to take it.
Most records last months. A few last years, and those are the interesting ones: either the event is unpopular enough that few people attack the record, or somebody had a solve so good that the rest of the sport has not caught up with it yet.
