2×2 · top 2.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since December 2010 · 2010MANI01

Kirk Nicklaus Manibuy has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.66, set at Fun Fasting Day 2011, puts him in the top 2.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 63rd in Indonesia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 18 competitions since December 2010, he has put 646 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 51% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.34 in December 2010 to 9.44, a 34% improvement. Kirk has entered 18 competitions, more competitions than 96% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
