Finian Hogan has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.14, set at Rubik's Irish Championship 2024, puts him in the top 4.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 60th in Ireland. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 26 competitions since July 2022, he has put 1,025 official solves on the record across nine events.

His 2×2 best has come down from 5.26 in July 2022 to 2.41, a 54% improvement. Finian has entered 26 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
