Eli Wimmer

2×2 · top 0.24% of 186,767 all-time · competing since January 2015 · 2015WIMM01

Eli Wimmer has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 0.81, set at Oregon State Alpha 2016, puts him in the top 0.24% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 103rd in the United States. Until November 2011, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since January 2015, he has put 201 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, steadier than 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.51 in January 2015 to 9.60, a 45% improvement. Eli 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.
