Conlin Alzheimer

2×2 · top 4.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since September 2022 · 2022ALZH01

Conlin Alzheimer has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.97, set at Gem State Sprint 2026, puts him in the top 4.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,814th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since September 2022, he has put 592 official solves on the record across 15 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 72% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.76 in September 2022 to 9.35, a 57% improvement. Conlin has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
