Adam Stubbs

2×2 · top 6.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since May 2015 · 2015STUB03

Adam Stubbs has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.28, set at National Capital Region 2017, puts him in the top 6.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 443rd in Canada. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since May 2015, he has put 121 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 10.68 in May 2015 to 2.28, a 79% improvement. Adam has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
