Denzel Gutierrez
2×2 · top 7.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since March 2011 · 2011GUTI01
Denzel Gutierrez has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.31, set at Toronto Spring 2012, puts him in the top 7.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 459th in Canada. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since March 2011, he has put 102 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 19.40 in April 2011 to 2.31, an 88% improvement. Denzel has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
