2×2 · top 24.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since September 2023 · 2023CHAL09

Sam Chalubek has been competing for 3 years. Their best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.88, set at Klemzig Kubing Decathlon 2026, puts them in the top 24.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,927th in Australia. Across 7 competitions since September 2023, they have put 126 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, their 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one; 97% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside their 3 DNFs. Their 3×3 best has come down from 30.59 in September 2023 to 16.57, a 46% improvement. Sam has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
