Valentin Spühler has been competing for 7 months. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.04, set at NxN in Jura 2026, puts him in the top 5.0% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 82nd in Switzerland. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since March 2026, he has put 72 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 4.71 in March 2026 to 2.04, a 57% improvement. Valentin has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
