Ewan Geertson
2×2 · top 5.8% of 189,179 all-time · competing since March 2021 · 2021GEER01
Ewan Geertson has been competing for 6 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.14, set at Nimble Napier 2021, puts him in the top 5.8% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 131st in New Zealand. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since March 2021, he has put 91 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.42 in March 2021 to 13.43, a 23% improvement. Ewan has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
