Prince Emmanuel has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.91, set at Mombasa Open 2024, puts him in the top 4.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2nd in Kenya. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since October 2024, he has put 253 official solves on the record across eight events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 19.71 in October 2024 to 11.51, a 42% improvement. Prince 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.
