2×2 · top 52.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2016 · 2016MEYE03
Raphael Meyer has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 6.11, set at Lake Constance Cubing 2022, puts him in the top 52.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 503rd in Switzerland. Across 6 competitions since April 2016, he has put 58 official solves on the record across four events.

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.
