Noah Sadowsky

2×2 · top 1.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2022 · 2022SADO02

Noah Sadowsky has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.23, set at Cubehenge 2023, puts him in the top 1.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 474th in the United States. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since October 2022, he has put 147 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 98% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 26.57 in October 2022 to 14.78, a 44% improvement. Noah has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
