2×2 · top 2.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2021 · 2021THOM06
Jan Thomas has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.48, set at Borovany End of Summer 2023, puts him in the top 2.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 33rd in the Czech Republic. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since October 2021, he has put 224 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 94% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.24 in October 2021 to 8.15, a 20% improvement. Jan has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
