Clock · top 19.5% of 32,048 all-time · competing since October 2022 · 2022PHIL12
Cooper Philpott has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 8.90, set at Waterloo Favourites B 2023, puts him in the top 19.5% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 162nd in Canada. Across 6 competitions since October 2022, he has put 102 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 51% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.24 in October 2022 to 13.83, a 43% improvement. Cooper has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
