2×2 · top 7.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since March 2017 · 2017HEUV01
Kyan van den Heuvel has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.31, set at SNZ Northern 2018, puts him in the top 7.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 158th in New Zealand. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since March 2017, he has put 147 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 78% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 31.27 in March 2017 to 12.60, a 60% improvement. Kyan has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
