I did this average over two days (my last solve on 8/1 was the 55.16). All the solves in this average were races with Felix Lee, the 2011 feet champion.

Fifth ever success. Fourth PR. For the + centers, I actually accidentally memorized (C R) instead of (C S), but during the solve, I noticed I had already solved the R position, so I realized I must have mismemorized.

| 2x2 Speedsolve Average | 4.02 | 4.02 = 3.82, 3.58, 4.67, (3.06), (4.87). Using Ortega. | BASC 3 2014 | 6/14/14 |
| 3x3 Speedsolve Single | 9.75 | Final round, 4th solve. First ever sub-10 in competition. | Yale Fall 2011 | 9/10/11 |
| 3x3 Speedsolve Average | 11.94 | 11.94 = 10.88, (13.71), 12.68, (9.75), 12.25. After getting 14.xx averages in the first two rounds, I got my first sub-13 and first sub-12 average all in one shot, completing shattering my previous 3x3 average PR of 13.78. | Yale Fall 2011 | 9/10/11 |
| 3x3 One-Handed Solve Single | 20.56 | First round, first solve. | US Nationals 2011 | 8/11/11 |
| 3x3 One-Handed Average | 23.60 | 23.60 = (29.65), 22.91, 23.84, (22.61), 24.06 | Berkeley Fall 2013 | 11/2/13 |
| 3x3 Blindfolded Solve | 1:56.05 | 2nd attempt. Good for second place. | Princeton Fall 2010 | 11/6/10 |
| 3x3 Blindfolded Mean | 3:16.01 | 3:16.01 = 3:50.69, 2:35.29, 3:22.05. The WCA did not start tracking this result until 2014, and I've only had two official blindfolded means - at Cornell Spring 2007 and this one. | BASC 3 2014 | 6/14/14 |
| 3x3 with Feet Single | 57.15 | My first official sub-minute solve. This was my first attempt and I was very happy with the time. | US Nationals 2012 | 8/2/12 |
| 3x3 with Feet Mean | 1:06.06 | 1:06.06 = 57.15, 1:18.71, 1:02.31. On my second solve, I recognized the R perm as a G perm, causing me to have to do a second PLL (an N perm). Even if I had not made the error, though, I still would have ended up in 4th place. | US Nationals 2012 | 8/2/12 |
| 3x3 Multiple Blindfolded | 5/5 | Done in 43:52 on my first attempt at US Nationals 2012. Though this ranked me 3rd after the first attempt, it wasn't good enough to get on the podium (I ended up 4th). I attempt 7 cubes on my second attempt, but I DNF'd the last cube because I memorized it wrong. | US Nationals 2012 | 8/3/12 |
| 3x3 Fewest Moves | 28 | Good enough for 5th, my best finish at my first World Championships. | World Championship 2013 | 7/26/13 - 7/28/13 |
| 4x4 Speedsolve Single | 52.29 | Done on a Dayan+mf8. | US Nationals 2012 | 8/2/12 |
| 4x4 Speedsolve Average | 59.08 | 59.08 = 1:03.40, 57.41, 56.44, (56.31), (1:06.18) | Saint Joseph's College Summer 2012 | 8/18/12 |
| 4x4 Blindfolded | 15:03 | The night before, I did 10 practice solves and DNF'd them all. I DNF'd my first attempt, succeeded on my second attempt in 16:44, and then set this PR on my third. | US Nationals 2012 | 8/3/12 |
| 5x5 Speedsolve Single | 1:37.05 | Done on Kevin Zhou's V-cube 5x5, which I accidentally took after the first Bulldog Cube Club meeting ever. Fourth solve. First ever sub-1:40 solve. | Princeton Fall 2011 | 9/24/11 |
| 5x5 Speedsolve Average | 1:46.25 | 1:46.25 = (1:55.58), 1:45.46, 1:45.84, 1:47.44, (1:39.52). I broke my PR in the first round with a 1:47.39 average, and then I broke it again in the semifinals with this average. | US Nationals 2012 | 8/5/12 |
| 5x5 Blindfolded | 33:14.00 | First ever official success! | Saint Joseph's College Summer 2012 | 8/18/12 |
| 6x6 Speedsolve Single | 4:33.65 | Despite the fact that my PR unofficial 6x6 average of 12 is less than 4 minutes, this is my fastest official solve. | US Nationals 2012 | 8/2/12 |
| 6x6 Speedsolve Mean | 4:41.71 | 4:41.71 = 4:37.24, 4:33.65, 4:54.23. This is not that good for me, considering I've gotten a sub-4-minute average of 12 before. However, I was glad the cut-off this year was 5 minutes and not 4:30 like last year, allowing me to get my first official 6x6 mean. | US Nationals 2012 | 8/2/12 |
| 7x7 Speedsolve Single | 5:57.99 | First attempt in round 1. | US Nationals 2012 | 8/2/12 |
| 7x7 Speedsolve Average | 6:31.35 | 6:31.35 = 5:57.99, 6:27.04, 7:09.02. This is my first official 7x7 average. | US Nationals 2012 | 8/2/12 |
| Pyraminx Single Solve | 23.02 | Borrowed William Chen's (Harvard '14) Pyraminx. | Harvard Fall 2010 | 10/2/10 |
| Pyraminx Average | 37.38 | 27.71, (2:05.61), 43.28, 41.15, (23.02). Done using William Chen's (Harvard '14) Pyraminx. After my second solve, William showed me a three cycle algorithm, which I ended up using in my later solves. | Harvard Fall 2010 | 10/2/10 |
| Skewb Single | 4.65 | Lucky. | BASC 3 2014 | 6/14/14 |
| Skewb Average | 13.73 | 13.73 = 13.69, (17.75), 15.25, (10.97), 12.24 | BASC 3 2014 | 6/14/14 |
| Megaminx Single | 1:43.34 | Fourth solve. | World Championship 2013 | 7/25/13 |
| Megaminx Average | 2:02.19 | 2:02.19 = 1:56.91, (2:22.28), 2:00.35, 2:09.31, (1:43.34) | World Championship 2013 | 7/25/13 |
| Square-1 Single | 1:07.28 | I choked and was not able to make the 45-second cut-off required to complete an average. | CCFC Fall 2013 | 9/21/13 |
| Rubik's Clock Single | 14.91 | One of my goals for this competition was to get my first official Clock average. However, on my first solve, something weird happened (probably one of the pins wasn't depressed/raised all the way when I thought it was, and I ended with one clock off by three hours. DNF. After that, I went slower on my subsequent solves. However, on my third solve, I stilled DNF'd because I started with the Clock misoriented and ended up solving all the clocks to 3 o'clock instead of 12. However, I'm still happy with getting a sub-15 single. | Saint Joseph's College Summer 2012 | 8/18/12 |
| Rubik's Clock Average | 17.71 | 17.71 = (19.09), (16.54), 17.87, 18.03, 17.23 | World Championship 2013 | 7/26/13 - 7/28/13 |
