Jack Amarbat
2×2 · top 6.7% of 189,179 all-time · competing since May 2021 · 2021AMAR01
Jack Amarbat has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.26, set at Nimble Napier 2021, puts him in the top 6.7% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 147th in New Zealand. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since May 2021, he has put 123 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.18 in May 2021 to 11.06, a 32% improvement. Jack has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
