Thomas Bühl

2×2 · top 2.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2025 · 2025BUHL01

Thomas Bühl has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.66, set at Avenida Chile XXII 2025, puts him in the top 2.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 96th in Colombia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since April 2025, he has put 47 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 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.43 in April 2025 to 11.11, a 28% improvement. Thomas 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.
