2×2 · top 9.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since March 2018 · 2018ANAL01
Alan An (Алан Ан) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.56, set at Cubing Kazakhstan Nationals 2019, puts him in the top 9.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 92nd in Kazakhstan. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since March 2018, he has put 118 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.25 in March 2018 to 11.13, a 52% improvement. Alan has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
