Isaac Tierney

2×2 · top 8.2% of 186,767 all-time · competing since January 2024 · 2024TIER01

Isaac Tierney has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.43, set at Manchester February 2025, puts him in the top 8.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 557th in the United Kingdom. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since January 2024, he has put 135 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 65% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.12 in January 2024 to 11.36, a 44% improvement. Isaac has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
