Jacob Segal

2×2 · top 21.8% of 186,767 all-time · competing since May 2018 · 2018SEGA01

Jacob Segal has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.63, set at Veterans Day Open 2019, puts him in the top 21.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8,543rd in the United States. Across 6 competitions since May 2018, he has put 58 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 35.69 in May 2018 to 14.37, a 60% improvement. Jacob has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
