Jasper Paley
2×2 · top 3.1% of 189,179 all-time · competing since July 2023 · 2023PALE01
Jasper Paley has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.70, set at New Hampshire Championship 2025, puts him in the top 3.1% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,221st in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since July 2023, he has put 355 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 63% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.49 in July 2023 to 10.03, a 39% improvement. Jasper has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
