Florian Rappan
2×2 · top 8.4% of 186,767 all-time · competing since March 2017 · 2017RAPP01
Florian Rappan has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.45, set at Vienna Big Cube Summer 2023, puts him in the top 8.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 59th in Austria. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since March 2017, he has put 219 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 96% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 31.56 in March 2017 to 11.31, a 64% improvement. Florian 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.
