Jesse Montrose

2×2 · top 92.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since February 2014 · 2014MONT02

Jesse Montrose has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 16.58, set at Bay Area Speedcubin' 2 2014, puts him in the top 92.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 38,452nd in the United States. Across 7 competitions since February 2014, he has put 58 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:30.27 in February 2014 to 1:14.58, a 17% improvement. Jesse has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
