Linus Engberg
2×2 · top 7.1% of 189,179 all-time · competing since June 2011 · 2011ENGB02
Linus Engberg has been competing for 15 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.30, set at Swedish Championship 2012, puts him in the top 7.1% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 240th in Sweden. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since June 2011, he has put 159 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. Linus has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
