Kwan Hefty

2×2 · top 6.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since May 2022 · 2022HEFT01

Kwan Hefty has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.23, set at Oregon State Fall 2025, puts him in the top 6.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,561st in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 25 competitions since May 2022, he has put 641 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 52% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.18 in May 2022 to 10.28, a 22% improvement. Kwan has entered 25 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.
