Finlay Ingraham
2×2 · top 6.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since March 2024 · 2024INGR02
Finlay Ingraham has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.19, set at Berkeley Fall 2024, puts him in the top 6.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,437th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since March 2024, he has put 73 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 77% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.05 in March 2024 to 12.22, a 36% improvement. Finlay has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
