Robin Errington

2×2 · top 1.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2022 · 2022ERRI01

Robin Errington has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.33, set at CuBonn Open 2026, puts him in the top 1.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 68th in Germany. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 20 competitions since April 2022, he has put 1,219 official solves on the record across 14 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 16.61 in April 2022 to 7.60, a 54% improvement. Robin has entered 20 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
