Jake Oppedisano

2×2 · top 1.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since June 2024 · 2024OPPE03

Jake Oppedisano has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.19, set at Turning in Corning 2025, puts him in the top 1.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 419th in the United States. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 44 competitions since June 2024, he has put 1,873 official solves on the record across 16 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 92% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 26 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.71 in June 2024 to 8.56, a 42% improvement. Jake has entered 44 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
