Mehmet Efe Günay

2×2 · top 0.59% of 186,767 all-time · competing since June 2022 · 2022GUNA05

Mehmet Efe Günay has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.02, set at İstanbul Spring 2023, puts him in the top 0.59% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5th in Turkey. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 21 competitions since June 2022, he has put 512 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 65% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 2×2 best has come down from 6.46 in June 2022 to 1.02, an 84% improvement. Mehmet has entered 21 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
