2×2 · top 6.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since February 2014 · 2014FONG01
Braeden Fong has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.28, set at Fraser Valley Spring Open 2018, puts him in the top 6.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 443rd in Canada. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since February 2014, he has put 209 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 69% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 2×2 best has come down from 11.81 in February 2014 to 2.28, an 81% improvement. Braeden has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
