Miles Southwick
2×2 · top 5.7% of 186,767 all-time · competing since February 2023 · 2023SOUT01
Miles Southwick has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.14, set at Give Back RPV 2023, puts him in the top 5.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,292nd in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since February 2023, he has put 33 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.48 in February 2023 to 15.96, a 35% improvement. Miles has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
