Hugo Yannoulis has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.01, set at Edinburgh Winter 2026, puts him in the top 4.8% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 354th in the United Kingdom. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since January 2025, he has put 303 official solves on the record across ten events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 1:01.12 in January 2025 to 15.56, a 75% improvement. Hugo has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
