Levi Coates

2×2 · top 7.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since June 2017 · 2017COAT01

Levi Coates has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.39, set at Whistler Open 2017, puts him in the top 7.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 513th in Canada. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since June 2017, he has put 134 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 82% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.21 in June 2017 to 10.23, a 23% improvement. Levi has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
