Imelda Chan

2×2 · top 9.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since February 2023 · 2023CHAN13

Imelda Chan has been competing for 4 years. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.56, set at Australian Nationals 2023, puts her in the top 9.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 720th in Australia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since February 2023, she has put 63 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 21% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 27.78 in February 2023 to 19.82, a 29% improvement. Imelda 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.
