2×2 · top 7.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since February 2026 · 2026GIBS03
Emmet Gibson has been competing for 6 months. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.35, set at Davis County Showdown 2026, puts him in the top 7.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,957th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since February 2026, he has put 107 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.39 in February 2026 to 16.14, a 25% improvement. Emmet 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.
