2×2 · top 9.8% of 186,767 all-time · competing since January 2023 · 2023BILG01
Nejat Ege Bilgen has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.59, set at CubingTR 10 Years 2023, puts him in the top 9.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 146th in Turkey. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since January 2023, he has put 162 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 80% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 2×2 best has come down from 4.80 in January 2023 to 2.59, a 46% improvement. Nejat has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
