Valtteri Hakio has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.25, set at Ark 2018, puts him in the top 6.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 87th in Finland. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since October 2017, he has put 258 official solves on the record across ten events.

His 2×2 best has come down from 7.79 in October 2017 to 2.25, a 71% improvement. Valtteri has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
