2×2 · top 65.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since February 2022 · 2022XUAN02
Ethan Xuan has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 7.66, set at NSW Open 2022, puts him in the top 65.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5,297th in Australia. Across 8 competitions since February 2022, he has put 89 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 22% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs.

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.
