2×2 · top 5.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since September 2024 · 2024LUOC03
Christopher Luo has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.05, set at Australian Nationals 2026, puts him in the top 5.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 374th in Australia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since September 2024, he has put 390 official solves on the record across 13 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 86% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.98 in September 2024 to 9.71, a 54% improvement. Christopher has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
