Kyle Polage

2×2 · top 0.035% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2016 · 2016POLA01

Kyle Polage has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 0.59, set at Puget Sound Spring 2019, puts him in the top 0.035% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 13th in the United States. Until June 2015, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 55 competitions since October 2016, he has put 2,348 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 50% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.75 in October 2016 to 7.20, a 64% improvement. Kyle has entered 55 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
