2×2 · top 2.8% of 186,767 all-time · competing since July 2016 · 2016POLY01
Ioannis Polyzos has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.64, set at Athens SNFestival Cubing 2019, puts him in the top 2.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 35th in Greece. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since July 2016, he has put 274 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 91% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.22 in July 2016 to 9.75, a 40% improvement. Ioannis has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
