Omar Rouineb
2×2 · top 9.1% of 189,179 all-time · competing since August 2025 · 2025ROUI01
Omar Rouineb has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.51, set at Marrakech Open 2026, puts him in the top 9.1% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 12th in Morocco. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since August 2025, he has put 121 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.23 in August 2025 to 12.29, a 45% improvement. Omar has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
