2×2 · top 2.3% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2023 · 2023WILS19
Owen Wilson has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.54, set at Isle of Wight Summer 2023, puts him in the top 2.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 181st in the United Kingdom. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since April 2023, he has put 231 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 56% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.66 in April 2023 to 9.04, a 46% improvement. Owen has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
