Kris Stuart

2×2 · top 2.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since July 2014 · 2014STUA01

Kris Stuart has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.61, set at CubingUSA Northeast Championship 2022, puts him in the top 2.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,033rd in the United States. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 26 competitions since July 2014, he has put 335 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 57% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 44.85 in March 2015 to 12.92, a 71% improvement. Kris has entered 26 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
