2×2 · top 6.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since February 2014 · 2014YEOH01
Ethan Yeoh has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.23, set at Newport Winter Open 2014, puts him in the top 6.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,561st in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since February 2014, he has put 85 official solves on the record across four 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 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 34.25 in February 2014 to 17.53, a 49% improvement. Ethan has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
