Brandon Wee
2×2 · top 9.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since November 2015 · 2015WEEB01
Brandon Wee has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.57, set at Berkeley Fall 2016, puts him in the top 9.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,790th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since November 2015, he has put 41 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 34.12 in November 2015 to 13.12, a 62% improvement. Brandon has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
