Samuel Jose Winata

2×2 · top 7.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since July 2018 · 2018WINA01

Samuel Jose Winata has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.29, set at Jakarta Open 2019, puts him in the top 7.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 146th in Indonesia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since July 2018, he has put 57 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 7.69 in July 2018 to 2.29, a 70% improvement. Samuel has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
