Roey Simhoni

2×2 · top 1.2% of 186,767 all-time · competing since August 2022 · 2022SIMH01

Roey Simhoni has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.26, set at Mike's Cubes Israel 2026, puts him in the top 1.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 20th in Israel. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 17 competitions since August 2022, he has put 326 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 71% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 2×2 best has come down from 4.64 in August 2022 to 1.26, a 73% improvement. Roey has entered 17 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
