Vincent Mehrer Esquinca
2×2 · top 3.7% of 189,179 all-time · competing since November 2023 · 2023ESQU02
Vincent Mehrer Esquinca has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.82, set at Wiler Newcomer 2026, puts him in the top 3.7% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 164th in Germany. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since November 2023, he has put 194 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 64% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 9 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 35.76 in November 2023 to 12.03, a 66% improvement. Vincent has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
