Lukas Glomb

2×2 · top 5.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since December 2012 · 2012GLOM01

Lukas Glomb has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.11, set at Velbert Open 2015, puts him in the top 5.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 226th in Germany. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since December 2012, he has put 80 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 20% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 40.18 in December 2012 to 22.19, a 45% improvement. Lukas has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
