Jason Bilgrei has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.18, set at Quabbin Open 2016, puts him in the top 0.98% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 410th in the United States. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 71 competitions since February 2014, he has put 2,216 official solves on the record across 17 events.

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.
