Ayden Henry

2×2 · top 4.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2016 · 2016HENR04

Ayden Henry has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.88, set at Skillcon 2017, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,585th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since April 2016, he has put 163 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 91% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.79 in April 2016 to 11.01, a 52% improvement. Ayden has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
