2×2 · top 1.2% of 186,767 all-time · competing since September 2022 · 2022KUOM01

Megan Kuo has been competing for 4 years. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.25, set at NYU Spring 2026, puts her in the top 1.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 501st in the United States. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 31 competitions since September 2022, she has put 862 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 61% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 20.99 in September 2022 to 7.21, a 66% improvement. Megan has entered 31 competitions, more competitions than 98% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
