2×2 · top 5.8% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2023 · 2023VAIN02
Fred Vaine has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.15, set at Tallinn Spring 2024, puts him in the top 5.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 20th in Estonia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since April 2023, he has put 224 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 84% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 3.86 in April 2023 to 2.15, a 44% improvement. Fred 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.
