Hans Bjerkevoll

2×2 · top 5.7% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2013 · 2013BJER01

Hans Bjerkevoll has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.14, set at Trondheim Winter 2017, puts him in the top 5.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 87th in Norway. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since October 2013, he has put 286 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 98% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.54 in October 2013 to 12.18, a 31% improvement. Hans has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
