Mael Quentin has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.46, set at Massachusetts Championship 2019, puts him in the top 8.6% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 343rd in France. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since August 2014, he has put 138 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 74% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.24 in August 2014 to 11.47, a 37% improvement. Mael 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.
