2×2 · top 4.7% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2016 · 2016TRUI01

Rio Truija has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.99, set at Smart Cube Fest 2018, puts him in the top 4.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 18th in Estonia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 40 competitions since April 2016, he has put 1,125 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 80% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 2×2 best has come down from 14.34 in April 2016 to 1.99, an 86% improvement. Rio has entered 40 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
