2×2 · top 3.3% of 186,767 all-time · competing since June 2022 · 2022ANCH04
Liam Ancheta has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.75, set at Cubing for Cancer RPV 2022, puts him in the top 3.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,289th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since June 2022, he has put 163 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 97% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.07 in June 2022 to 9.79, a 19% improvement. Liam has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
