Dániel Nyikos has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.13, set at Eger Open 2017, puts him in the top 0.85% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 22nd in Hungary. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 24 competitions since October 2016, he has put 733 official solves on the record across 13 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 14.84 in March 2017 to 9.81, a 34% improvement. He has entered 24 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
