2×2 · top 8.8% of 189,179 all-time · competing since December 2015 · 2015CHAD01
James Chadwick has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.48, set at Canberra Spring 2016, puts him in the top 8.8% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 678th in Australia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since December 2015, he has put 156 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 96% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.33 in December 2015 to 10.95, a 43% improvement. James has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
