Jeremy Neilson

2×2 · top 0.12% of 186,767 all-time · competing since August 2015 · 2015NEIL01

Jeremy Neilson has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 0.70, set at Edmonton Limited Summer 2016, puts him in the top 0.12% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 7th in Canada. Until November 2011, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since August 2015, he has put 172 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 55% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.52 in August 2015 to 12.57, a 28% improvement. Jeremy has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
