Inon Zaidelson

2×2 · top 9.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2022 · 2022ZAID04

Inon Zaidelson has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.57, set at Italian Championship 2022, puts him in the top 9.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 193rd in Israel. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since October 2022, he has put 94 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.68 in October 2022 to 14.04, a 21% improvement. Inon has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
