2×2 · top 6.3% of 186,767 all-time · competing since January 2009 · 2009BELL01
Kevin Belleville has been competing for 18 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.21, set at Stanford Fall competition 2009, puts him in the top 6.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,504th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since January 2009, he has put 70 official solves on the record across five events.

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.
