2×2 · top 7.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since August 2022 · 2022WALT05
Noah Walton has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.36, set at Melbourne Summer 2023, puts him in the top 7.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 564th in Australia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2022, he has put 103 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 9.91 in August 2022 to 2.36, a 76% improvement. Noah has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
