Lauri Viitaila
2×2 · top 6.7% of 189,179 all-time · competing since November 2022 · 2022VIIT01
Lauri Viitaila has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.25, set at Kirkkonummi Time Trial 2023, puts him in the top 6.7% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 88th in Finland. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since November 2022, he has put 79 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. Lauri has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
