Pavel Černý

2×2 · top 7.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since July 2014 · 2014CERN02

Pavel Černý has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.36, set at Czech Open 2016, puts him in the top 7.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 96th in the Czech Republic. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since July 2014, he has put 519 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 87% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 29.59 in July 2014 to 11.05, a 63% improvement. Pavel has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
