Ian Cahuzac

2×2 · top 6.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2015 · 2015CAHU01

Ian Cahuzac has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.25, set at Open Cube Project 2016, puts him in the top 6.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 271st in France. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since April 2015, he has put 366 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 63% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.22 in April 2015 to 10.25, a 33% improvement. Ian has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
