Manuel Nobis has been competing for 15 years. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 36.34, set at Hessen Open 2014, puts him in the top 8.0% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 156th in Germany. Until July 2010, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since February 2012, he has put 236 official solves on the record across eight events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 13.90 in February 2012 to 10.46, a 25% improvement. Manuel has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
