Eitan Lackner

2×2 · top 1.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2022 · 2022LACK02

Eitan Lackner has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.22, set at Israel Winter Open A 2024, puts him in the top 1.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 17th in Israel. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since October 2022, he has put 120 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 93% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.11 in October 2022 to 11.17, a 52% improvement. Eitan has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
