Itai Cohen
2×2 · top 8.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since September 2010 · 2010COHE04
Itai Cohen has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.50, set at Israel Championship 2011, puts him in the top 8.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 178th in Israel. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since September 2010, he has put 151 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, steadier than 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.43 in September 2010 to 12.07, a 16% improvement. Itai has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
