Kobe Lutjeharms

2×2 · top 0.58% of 186,767 all-time · competing since February 2022 · 2022LUTJ01

Kobe Lutjeharms has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.01, set at Lazarillo Open 2024, puts him in the top 0.58% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3rd in Belgium. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 19 competitions since February 2022, he has put 1,000 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 65% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.78 in February 2022 to 6.23, a 58% improvement. Kobe has entered 19 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
