Cain Chitwood has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 5.08, set at No Stress Solving 2017, puts him in the top 40.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 16,199th in the United States. Across 7 competitions since July 2016, he has put 64 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs.

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.
