2×2 · top 5.9% of 189,179 all-time · competing since August 2017 · 2017GEIS02
Robin Geiser has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.15, set at Swiss Science Open 2019, puts him in the top 5.9% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 92nd in Switzerland. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 26 competitions since August 2017, he has put 837 official solves on the record across 15 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 81% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.25 in August 2017 to 10.35, a 43% improvement. Robin has entered 26 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
