2×2 · top 10.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since May 2022 · 2022WYKJ01
Johan van Wyk has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.62, set at CubingZA National Championship 2023, puts him in the top 10.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 99th in South Africa. Across 3 competitions since May 2022, he has put 66 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 26.80 in May 2022 to 14.54, a 46% improvement. Johan has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
