2×2 · top 23.9% of 189,179 all-time · competing since February 2025 · 2025BURR01
Tao Burr has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.79, set at Australian Nationals 2025, puts him in the top 23.9% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,860th in Australia. Across 4 competitions since February 2025, he has put 68 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 43.98 in February 2025 to 18.36, a 58% improvement. Tao 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.
