Tom Moloney

2×2 · top 18.4% of 186,767 all-time · competing since September 2017 · 2017MOLO03

Tom Moloney has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.35, set at Gold Coast Spring 2019, puts him in the top 18.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,379th in Australia. Across 9 competitions since September 2017, he has put 179 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 82% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 32.61 in September 2017 to 14.52, a 55% improvement. Tom has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
