2×2 · top 4.4% of 189,179 all-time · competing since August 2023 · 2023ALAG05
Cosmo Alagna has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.94, set at Wiltshire November 2024, puts him in the top 4.4% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 317th in the United Kingdom. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2023, he has put 159 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% 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 3.92 in November 2023 to 1.94, a 51% improvement. Cosmo 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.
