Taylan Timis
2×2 · top 6.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since August 2018 · 2018TIMI01
Taylan Timis has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.24, set at Ankara Summer 2018, puts him in the top 6.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 101st in Turkey. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since August 2018, he has put 85 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 6.26 in August 2018 to 2.24, a 64% improvement. Taylan has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
