Matan Dvir
2×2 · top 7.9% of 189,179 all-time · competing since December 2022 · 2022DVIR01
Matan Dvir has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.39, set at Weekend Cubing C Israel 2024, puts him in the top 7.9% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 170th in Israel. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since December 2022, he has put 108 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.06 in December 2022 to 10.59, a 25% improvement. Matan 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.
