2×2 · top 4.2% of 186,767 all-time · competing since December 2022 · 2022ROMS01
Kalel Amaury Romsa has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.91, set at Vegas Cubing Cup Summer 2024, puts him in the top 4.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,655th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since December 2022, he has put 464 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 55% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 9 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.68 in December 2022 to 9.17, a 21% improvement. Kalel has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
