Patrick Harnisch

2×2 · top 8.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2010 · 2010HARN03

Patrick Harnisch has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.46, set at Spanish Championship 2012, puts him in the top 8.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 330th in Germany. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since October 2010, he has put 203 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.41 in October 2010 to 11.19, a 32% improvement. Patrick has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
