William Mattoon

2×2 · top 6.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2022 · 2022MATT01

William Mattoon has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.18, set at Fall River Cubikon 2023, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,413th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since April 2022, he has put 70 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.40 in April 2022 to 14.57, a 35% improvement. William has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
