Henning Lulei

2×2 · top 4.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since November 2017 · 2017LULE02

Henning Lulei has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.98, set at Hessen Open 2019, puts him in the top 4.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 198th in Germany. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since November 2017, he has put 253 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 92% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 40.34 in November 2017 to 15.33, a 62% improvement. Henning has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
