Eirik Ole Hessen

2×2 · top 5.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since February 2024 · 2024HESS01

Eirik Ole Hessen has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.11, set at Norwegian Championship 2024, puts him in the top 5.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 83rd in Norway. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since February 2024, he has put 116 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. Eirik has entered two competitions.

Percentile against all competitors ever ranked in each event, a fairer measure than raw rank, because the pools differ by a factor of ten.

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.
