2×2 · top 9.7% of 186,767 all-time · competing since September 2013 · 2013LJUN01
Jacob Ljungqvist has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.58, set at Linkub 2015, puts him in the top 9.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 299th in Sweden. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since September 2013, he has put 155 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.43 in September 2013 to 2.58, a 52% improvement. Jacob has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
