Henry Maurer

2×2 · top 9.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since May 2022 · 2022MAUR01

Henry Maurer has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.51, set at Circle City Supercharged 2022, puts him in the top 9.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,543rd in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since May 2022, he has put 134 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 81% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.86 in May 2022 to 11.22, a 51% improvement. Henry has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
