Mack Waller
2×2 · top 5.7% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2018 · 2018WALL05
Mack Waller has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.13, set at Harold Park Classic 2019, puts him in the top 5.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 412th in Australia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since October 2018, he has put 78 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 54% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.97 in October 2018 to 15.59, a 26% improvement. Mack has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
