Avery Babineau
2×2 · top 6.1% of 189,179 all-time · competing since March 2023 · 2023BABI02
Avery Babineau has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.18, set at Open de Gatineau 2026, puts him in the top 6.1% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 398th in Canada. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 19 competitions since March 2023, he has put 281 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 76% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.61 in March 2023 to 16.98, a 39% improvement. Avery has entered 19 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
