Gilad Shaul has been competing for 3 years.

Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since October 2023, he has put 40 official solves on the record across four events. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.34 in October 2023 to 2.37, a 56% improvement. Gilad has entered two competitions.

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.
