Liam Bendjebbour
2×2 · top 1.8% of 189,179 all-time · competing since June 2025 · 2025BEND02
Liam Bendjebbour has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.41, set at Barby Cube 2026, puts him in the top 1.8% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 84th in France. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since June 2025, he has put 205 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 96% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.04 in June 2025 to 11.45, a 46% improvement. Liam has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
