Sebastian Bambrey

2×2 · top 7.3% of 186,767 all-time · competing since August 2022 · 2022BAMB01

Sebastian Bambrey has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.33, set at Bristol June 2026, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 509th in the United Kingdom. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 30 competitions since August 2022, he has put 800 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 79% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 17 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 30.32 in August 2022 to 12.32, a 59% improvement. Sebastian has entered 30 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
