Avery Lucas Christian
2×2 · top 4.7% of 189,179 all-time · competing since March 2025 · 2025CHRI09
Avery Lucas Christian has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.99, set at Battle Ground 2025, puts him in the top 4.7% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,912th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since March 2025, he has put 230 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 93% 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 47.93 in March 2025 to 17.34, a 64% improvement. Avery has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
