Chris Tangpi
2×2 · top 4.3% of 186,767 all-time · competing since November 2024 · 2024TANG28
Chris Tangpi has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.93, set at Mid-Atlantic Speedcubing Championship 2026, puts him in the top 4.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1st in Cameroon. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since November 2024, he has put 107 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 8.88 in November 2024 to 1.93, a 78% improvement. Chris has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
