We think only a record holder can know what you go through to set a record, so we only let people that
have already set world records downvote other people's records.
What can I do?
Go set a record! If you can think of it, you can set a new world record for it.
I think this is the first record I've given "thumbs down" (although I don't actually know what this would represent)... only for the sole fact that this category quickly becomes a stalemate when it reaches one and that target is too easily reached (ie. I've only ever played darts once, but if I had a board I could try 100 times and eventually get it "on the first attempt" - but to get 3 bullseyes in 3 attempts....)
It's similar to the record for "accumulative total" in 3 attempts. The reason being that each attempt is often so unpredictable that one attempt is impressive, but to follow it by one equally as impressive is impossible, but to follow with a third makes it amazing.
I think in categories such as this "fewest attempts", similar to "fewest attempts to stop an iPhone stopwatch at 1:00 - it stops at one and can be rigged around actually being 100 attempts until you get a clean shot appearing to be on the first attempt... I think a better way of determining "first attempt" or at least more impressive is "most bullseyes" or "least attempts for X bullseyes" - ie go for 5 or 10 bullseyes - then you can at least get it down to a minimum of 10 which is a much more impressive feat that 1 attempt that is likely to be the 100th but the previous 100 don't need to be on film...
