Nicholas Power-Malone has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.42, set at Harold Park Classic 2019, puts him in the top 8.2% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 625th in Australia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since August 2019, he has put 14 official solves on the record across two events.

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.
