2×2 · top 4.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since September 2017 · 2017APPE01

Casper Appelberg has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.02, set at Altona Algorithms 2019, puts him in the top 4.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 366th in Australia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since September 2017, he has put 235 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 69% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.01 in September 2017 to 10.16, a 62% improvement. Casper has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% of everyone who has ever competed.

Percentile against all competitors ever ranked in each event, a fairer measure than raw rank, because the pools differ by a factor of ten.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
