2×2 · top 8.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since September 2022 · 2022SCHL11
Alex Schlosser has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.46, set at Pretzel Mania 2022, puts him in the top 8.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,352nd in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since September 2022, he has put 89 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. Alex has entered two 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.
