4×4 · top 4.4% of 83,917 all-time · competing since November 2018 · 2018SCHI05
Philipp Schiemer has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 32.24, set at LYN Cubing Days 2019, puts him in the top 4.4% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 15th in Austria. Until November 2010, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since November 2018, he has put 183 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 2×2 best has come down from 4.14 in January 2019 to 2.03, a 51% improvement. Philipp has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
