Alan Stevenson Leinecker has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.14, set at Cubing Knights IV 2023, puts him in the top 5.8% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,340th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since March 2023, he has put 267 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 87% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.89 in March 2023 to 12.23, a 32% improvement. Alan has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
