2×2 · top 1.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since January 2021 · 2021MATA01

Levi Benjamin Matara-Ng has been competing for 6 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.21, set at VIC State Championship 2025, puts him in the top 1.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 108th in Australia. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 30 competitions since January 2021, he has put 1,573 official solves on the record across twelve events.

His Skewb best has come down from 10.64 in January 2021 to 2.22, a 79% improvement. Levi has entered 30 competitions, more competitions than 98% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, Skewb. 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.
