Antonio Brooks
2×2 · top 7.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since January 2020 · 2020BROO01
Antonio Brooks has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.29, set at CubingUSA Nationals 2023, puts him in the top 7.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,756th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since January 2020, he has put 85 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.21 in January 2020 to 10.56, a 56% improvement. Antonio 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.
