Mikhail Mukhin

2×2 · top 6.2% of 186,767 all-time · competing since November 2010 · 2010MUKH01

Mikhail Mukhin has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.20, set at Nelidovo Open 2013, puts him in the top 6.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 201st in Russia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since November 2010, he has put 257 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 88% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.38 in November 2010 to 11.28, a 59% improvement. Mikhail has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
