2×2 · top 9.6% of 189,179 all-time · competing since March 2020 · 2020ATLA01
Tómas Atlason has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.56, set at Icelandic Nationals 2023, puts him in the top 9.6% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 17th in Iceland. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since March 2020, he has put 256 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 87% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.25 in March 2020 to 11.47, a 25% improvement. He 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.
