Dominic Hobi has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.89, set at Basel Open 2020, puts him in the top 4.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 68th in Switzerland. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since September 2019, he has put 75 official solves on the record across three events.

Dominic 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.
