Gaetan Charmillot
2×2 · top 6.4% of 186,767 all-time · competing since December 2017 · 2017CHAR18
Gaetan Charmillot has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.22, set at Basel Open 2020, puts him in the top 6.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 96th in Switzerland. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since December 2017, he has put 158 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 24% around a typical one; 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 32.46 in December 2017 to 26.26, a 19% improvement. Gaetan has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
