Jonothon Holmes-Brown

2×2 · top 55.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since August 2011 · 2011HOLM01

Jonothon Holmes-Brown has been competing for 15 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 6.41, set at Adelaide Summer 2017, puts him in the top 55.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,397th in Australia. Across 8 competitions since August 2011, he has put 66 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:13.22 in August 2011 to 36.11, a 51% improvement. Jonothon has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
