2×2 · top 8.8% of 186,767 all-time · competing since December 2022 · 2022HANN09
Kjartan Pétur Hannesson has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.49, set at Iceland Open 2024, puts him in the top 8.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 16th in Iceland. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since December 2022, he has put 234 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 72% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 41.41 in December 2022 to 22.57, a 45% improvement. Kjartan has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
