2×2 · top 2.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since July 2023 · 2023STEN04
Aaron Stenman has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.61, set at MurgiJoven Open 2024, puts him in the top 2.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 34th in Finland. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since July 2023, he has put 299 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 66% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His Pyraminx best has come down from 7.42 in July 2023 to 3.91, a 47% improvement. Aaron has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
