Alexandros Gakis
2×2 · top 7.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since December 2016 · 2016GAKI01
Alexandros Gakis has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.39, set at Greek Open 2022, puts him in the top 7.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 92nd in Greece. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since December 2016, he has put 184 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 19% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 10.35 in December 2016 to 2.39, a 77% improvement. Alexandros 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.
