Charlie Cannon
2×2 · top 4.4% of 189,179 all-time · competing since January 2020 · 2020CANN01
Charlie Cannon has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.94, set at Brilliant Ballarat 2022, puts him in the top 4.4% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 346th in Australia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since January 2020, he has put 407 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 53% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 8 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.28 in January 2020 to 10.12, a 48% improvement. Charlie 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.
