Luke Dwyer

2×2 · top 56.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since June 2011 · 2011DWYE01

Luke Dwyer has been competing for 15 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 6.59, set at Hillsdale Winter 2013, puts him in the top 56.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 23,255th in the United States. Across 13 competitions since June 2011, he has put 115 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 72% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 22.53 in August 2011 to 6.59, a 71% improvement. Luke has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
