Denis Rapoport

2×2 · top 0.64% of 186,767 all-time · competing since November 2014 · 2014RAPO02

Denis Rapoport has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.04, set at MPEI Open 2019, puts him in the top 0.64% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since November 2014, he has put 364 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 54% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His Pyraminx best has come down from 8.57 in November 2014 to 2.31, a 73% improvement. Denis has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, Pyraminx. 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.
