Toby Brown

2×2 · top 4.7% of 186,767 all-time · competing since January 2020 · 2020BROW02

Toby Brown has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.00, set at Stevenage Spring 2022, puts him in the top 4.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 346th in the United Kingdom. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since January 2020, he has put 165 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 3.56 in January 2020 to 2.00, a 44% improvement. Toby has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
