Evan Rich

2×2 · top 48.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2015 · 2015RICH11

Evan Rich has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 5.79, set at Monument Mountain Winter 2017, puts him in the top 48.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 19,725th in the United States. Across 16 competitions since October 2015, he has put 143 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 67% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 57.02 in October 2015 to 34.84, a 39% improvement. Evan has entered 16 competitions, more competitions than 96% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
