Alex Ionitel
2×2 · top 6.8% of 186,767 all-time · competing since November 2017 · 2017IONI01
Alex Ionitel has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.27, set at Oakville Limited Spring 2018, puts him in the top 6.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 436th in Canada. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since November 2017, he has put 107 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 2.78 in November 2017 to 2.27, an 18% improvement. Alex has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
