Lias Stricker
2×2 · top 2.1% of 189,179 all-time · competing since March 2024 · 2024STRI02
Lias Stricker has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.48, set at Swiss Science Open 2024, puts him in the top 2.1% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 31st in Switzerland. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since March 2024, he has put 228 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 79% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.11 in March 2024 to 10.11, a 28% improvement. Lias has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
