Jack Le Noel

2×2 · top 7.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since January 2022 · 2022NOEL01

Jack Le Noel has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.30, set at Auckland Autumn 2023, puts him in the top 7.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 156th in New Zealand. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since January 2022, he has put 133 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.02 in January 2022 to 2.30, a 54% improvement. Jack has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
