2×2 · top 9.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2018 · 2018DAOJ01
Jaden Dao has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.57, set at Puget Sound Summer 2019, puts him in the top 9.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,790th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since April 2018, he has put 126 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.33 in April 2018 to 11.07, a 48% improvement. Jaden 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.
