2×2 · top 9.6% of 189,179 all-time · competing since November 2024 · 2024DOLV01
Julian Mosvold Dolva has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.56, set at Kristiansand Open 2025, puts him in the top 9.6% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 147th in Norway. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since November 2024, he has put 93 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 2.93 in November 2024 to 2.56, a 13% improvement. Julian 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.
