Kert Jalukse

2×2 · top 5.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since September 2016 · 2016JALU01

Kert Jalukse has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.12, set at Estonian Open 2017, puts him in the top 5.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 19th in Estonia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since September 2016, he has put 324 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 54% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 one-handed best has come down from 44.36 in September 2016 to 15.18, a 66% improvement. Kert has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
