2×2 · top 4.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2025 · 2025NOYY01
Yanay Noy has been competing for 11 months. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.98, set at Israel Championship 2026, puts him in the top 4.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 92nd in Israel. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since October 2025, he has put 50 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.68 in October 2025 to 11.08, a 29% improvement. Yanay 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.
