Patrick Plomin has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.18, set at WonderLand Education West Lafayette Fall 2024, puts him in the top 6.1% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,464th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since April 2023, he has put 125 official solves on the record across four events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 16.98 in April 2023 to 11.42, a 33% improvement. Patrick has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
