2×2 · top 27.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2022 · 2022BENS05

Harvey Benson has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 4.11, set at Wiltshire Summer 2023, puts him in the top 27.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,505th in the United Kingdom. Across 5 competitions since October 2022, he has put 52 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 14.44 in October 2022 to 4.11, a 72% improvement. Harvey has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
