Danyal Bolat
2×2 · top 4.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2022 · 2022BOLA04
Danyal Bolat has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.88, set at Speedcubing at Seaworks 2023, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 26th in Kazakhstan. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since October 2022, he has put 98 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 7.22 in October 2022 to 5.15, a 29% improvement. Danyal has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
