Elinoam Hirsch
2×2 · top 4.4% of 186,767 all-time · competing since December 2022 · 2022HIRS04
Elinoam Hirsch has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.94, set at Puriminx C 2023, puts him in the top 4.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 87th in Israel. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since December 2022, he has put 220 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 58% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.31 in December 2022 to 9.05, a 12% improvement. Elinoam has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
