Emrys Paoli has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.15, set at Toy's Impact Hagondange 2026, puts him in the top 5.9% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 252nd in France. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since January 2024, he has put 190 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 39.78 in January 2024 to 10.22, a 74% improvement. Emrys has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
