Xavier Ye has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 0.57, set at Corning Summer 2026, puts him in the top 0.026% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 9th in the United States. Until March 2016, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 85 competitions since November 2021, he has put 4,900 official solves on the record across 16 events.

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.
