2×2 · top 6.3% of 189,179 all-time · competing since August 2023 · 2023STOC04
Toby Stocks has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.20, set at Norwich Summer 2023, puts him in the top 6.3% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 447th in the United Kingdom. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since August 2023, he has put 103 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.19 in August 2023 to 17.84, a 16% improvement. Toby 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.
