Kobe Rodriguez

Clock · top 3.9% of 32,048 all-time · competing since December 2017 · 2017RODR72

Kobe Rodriguez has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 4.80, set at Bothell Summer 2023, puts him in the top 3.9% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 322nd in the United States. Until April 2015, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since December 2017, he has put 62 official solves on the record across three events. His 2×2 best has come down from 6.64 in December 2017 to 2.77, a 58% improvement. Kobe 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.
