2×2 · top 1.0% of 189,179 all-time · competing since September 2015 · 2015DJAH01
Daniel Djahangir has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.19, set at Schwerin Open 2026, puts him in the top 1.0% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 47th in Germany. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since September 2015, he has put 242 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 85% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.59 in September 2015 to 11.09, a 49% improvement. Daniel has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
