Albert Bjerke Hommersand

2×2 · top 1.3% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2015 · 2015HOMM01

Albert Bjerke Hommersand has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.29, set at Sandnes Open 2017, puts him in the top 1.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 26th in Norway. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since October 2015, he has put 473 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 74% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.33 in October 2015 to 1.29, a 76% improvement. Albert 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.
