2×2 · top 5.7% of 186,767 all-time · competing since March 2024 · 2024DORT01
Kaan Dörtcan has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.13, set at Turkish Nationals 2024, puts him in the top 5.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 84th in Turkey. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since March 2024, he has put 142 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 91% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.67 in March 2024 to 20.97, a 15% improvement. Kaan has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
