2×2 · top 1.7% of 189,179 all-time · competing since October 2016 · 2016CHRI09
Tobias Christensen has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.38, set at Norwegian Championship 2017, puts him in the top 1.7% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 31st in Norway. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since October 2016, he has put 223 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 2.20 in October 2016 to 1.38, a 37% improvement. Tobias has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
