2×2 · top 7.5% of 189,179 all-time · competing since March 2016 · 2016HESS01

Tristan Hesselholt has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.35, set at Danish Open 2016, puts him in the top 7.5% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 102nd in Denmark. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since March 2016, he has put 192 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.02 in March 2016 to 16.61, a 31% improvement. Tristan has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
