Felix Kiera has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.18, set at Canberra Spring 2016, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 433rd in Australia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 17 competitions since December 2015, he has put 476 official solves on the record across 13 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 75% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.32 in December 2015 to 10.57, a 53% improvement. Felix has entered 17 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
