John Scanlan
2×2 · top 44.0% of 189,179 all-time · competing since July 2022 · 2022SCAN01
John Scanlan has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 5.38, set at Irish Championship 2023, puts him in the top 44.0% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 554th in Ireland. Across 8 competitions since July 2022, he has put 119 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 53% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 56.75 in July 2022 to 22.00, a 61% improvement. John has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
