Parker Sellon has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.31, set at Berkeley Fall 2024, puts him in the top 7.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,838th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since June 2024, he has put 105 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.84 in June 2024 to 12.28, a 17% improvement. Parker 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.
