Andre Cantin

2×2 · top 5.6% of 189,179 all-time · competing since November 2010 · 2010CANT01

Andre Cantin has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.12, set at National Capital Region 2019, puts him in the top 5.6% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 362nd in Canada. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 26 competitions since November 2010, he has put 662 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 67% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 7.93 in November 2010 to 2.12, a 73% improvement. Andre has entered 26 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
