Tykhon Pererva

2×2 · top 2.3% of 186,767 all-time · competing since August 2022 · 2022PERE32

Tykhon Pererva has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.54, set at Tír Chonaill Cubing 2024, puts him in the top 2.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 47th in Ireland. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 24 competitions since August 2022, he has put 849 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 80% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 19 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.14 in August 2022 to 10.26, a 32% improvement. Tykhon has entered 24 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
