Mustafa Arabacı

2×2 · top 3.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since July 2023 · 2023ARAB02

Mustafa Arabacı has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.79, set at Turkish Nationals 2024, puts him in the top 3.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 43rd in Turkey. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since July 2023, he has put 25 official solves on the record across two events. His 3×3 best has come down from 32.08 in July 2023 to 17.28, a 46% improvement. Mustafa has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
