Tigran Terterian has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.93, set at 2x2 in a Madison Lodge 2022, puts him in the top 4.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,705th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 20 competitions since May 2022, he has put 289 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 14.82 in May 2022 to 10.92, a 26% improvement. Tigran has entered 20 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
