Carter Herrin

2×2 · top 21.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since July 2015 · 2015HERR09

Carter Herrin has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.61, set at Classic City Summer 2017, puts him in the top 21.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8,439th in the United States. Across 10 competitions since July 2015, he has put 136 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 44.89 in July 2015 to 27.43, a 39% improvement. Carter has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
