Alec Zenhäusern
2×2 · top 6.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since December 2024 · 2024ZENH01
Alec Zenhäusern has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.23, set at Swiss Nationals 2025, puts him in the top 6.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 99th in Switzerland. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since December 2024, he has put 255 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 96% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.50 in December 2024 to 12.79, a 38% improvement. Alec has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
