Arthur Magineau
2×2 · top 3.3% of 186,767 all-time · competing since July 2023 · 2023MAGI04
Arthur Magineau has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.75, set at French Championship 2026, puts him in the top 3.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 149th in France. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since July 2023, he has put 365 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 58% 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 25.71 in July 2023 to 12.69, a 51% improvement. Arthur 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.
