Simon Whitworth has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.86, set at Derby City Open 2019, puts him in the top 12.7% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5,075th in the United States. Across 8 competitions since December 2017, he has put 127 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 82% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.33 in December 2017 to 15.59, a 19% improvement. Simon has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
