Thomas Pierroz has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.08, set at Barby Cube 2024, puts him in the top 0.72% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 11th in Switzerland. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 75 competitions since October 2021, he has put 2,664 official solves on the record across ten events.

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.
