2×2 · top 5.0% of 189,179 all-time · competing since March 2022 · 2022LEVE03
Eran Bar Lev has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.03, set at Israel Championship 2023, puts him in the top 5.0% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 109th in Israel. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since March 2022, he has put 234 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 80% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 2×2 best has come down from 2.58 in March 2022 to 2.03, a 21% improvement. Eran has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
