2×2 · top 4.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since March 2012 · 2012EIJK01

Dennis Eijkel has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.89, set at Hoogland Open 2019, puts him in the top 4.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 90th in the Netherlands. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 23 competitions since March 2012, he has put 876 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 25.43 in March 2012 to 9.93, a 61% improvement. Dennis has entered 23 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. 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.
