Mitchell Cameron

2×2 · top 2.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since June 2015 · 2015CAME01

Mitchell Cameron has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.58, set at Wellington Winter 2015, puts him in the top 2.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 74th in New Zealand. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since June 2015, he has put 165 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 95% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.85 in June 2015 to 13.14, a 26% improvement. Mitchell has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
