Philip Reiter has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.24, set at Rhön Open 2026, puts him in the top 6.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 261st in Germany. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since December 2024, he has put 139 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.41 in December 2024 to 11.70, a 13% improvement. Philip has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
