Simon Mallory has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.56, set at Ottawa Spring 2026, puts him in the top 9.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 615th in Canada. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since May 2018, he has put 95 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 8% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.35 in May 2018 to 2.56, a 52% improvement. Simon has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
