2×2 · top 6.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2022 · 2022BANM02
Milo Ban has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.25, set at Shimonoseki 2025, puts him in the top 6.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,616th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since October 2022, he has put 146 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 53% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.96 in October 2022 to 12.30, a 35% improvement. Milo has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
