|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1.76 seconds | Johannes Laire | I also got two 1.81's today (previous record was 1.82). | 20061009 |
| 2 | 2 seconds | Pasi Terasti | This was 20 years ago. I cannot remember if I ever got under 2 seconds, or just very close to it. Anyway, my best was between 1.9 and 2.1 seconds, and I could do it repeatedly. The snake broke 20 years ago, and I haven't looked for a new one since. Do they still make them? | 1985 |
| 3 | 2.54 seconds | Jonah Scapelliti | still working on it yay i rule | 20060924 |
| 4 | 2.90 seconds | Derrick Eide | Yeah! finally sub 3, I'm coming for u Johannes! | 20070408 |
| 5 | 2.94 seconds | Fubo Wang | It's a hard work to make a group of average comfortably | 20081206 |
| 6 | 3.02 seconds | Jeff Andrew | I have never had a perfect solve. Sub 3 is very possible, as well as sub 2.5 | 20061004 |
| 7 | 3.09 seconds | Alex DiPaola | that was fast! | 20080117 |
| 8 | 3.20 seconds | Michael Gottlieb | Did this while practicing at Tim Reynolds's house. I'm beginning to see how sub-2 is possible. | 20070205 |
| 9 | 3.29 seconds | Henrik Buus Aagaard | Did this more than a month ago | 20061122 |
| 10 | 3.35 seconds | Andy Ferlo | a girl in my class asked me how fast i could do it so i pulled out my timer, did the snake and got a new personal best time! | 20070403 |
| 11 | 3.50 seconds | Michael Papper | man i keep geting better I am so happy | 20080707 |
| 12 | 3.68 seconds | Louis Moretti | woo hoo | 20070620 |
| 13 | 3.83 seconds | Jak Sones | Pretty much. | 20080714 |
| 14 | 3.84 seconds | Milo DiPaola | n/a | 20080121 |
| 15 | 3.93 seconds | Gábor Jankovich | I measured the time with a watch because StackMat is not for me. (I does not speak well in English, I am sorry for it. )) | 20080213 |
| 16 | 3.95 seconds | Daniel Borrajo Gutiérrez | I guess its national record (Im from Spain) its cool so I think I will practise a lot for the European Championship. | 20080802 |
| 17 | 3.99 seconds | Samuel Laire | 8 years old. | 20061218 |
| 18 | 4.00 seconds | Okko Pyssysalo | n/a | 20081116 |
| 19 | 4.12 seconds | Raphi Schuster | I finally have got sub 4.30 | 20080127 |
| 20 | 4.40 seconds | Kenneth Gustavsson | After my firs week of practice (not really true, I did sub 5 in the 80's but that was long ago =) Hope I can do this good when I'm up against the Larie brothers next weekend in Helsinki. | 20070810 |
| 21 | 4.46 seconds | Otto von Hellens | A good time for me. | 20080110 |
| 22 | 4.49 seconds | Andrew Roley | getting a fluid last end to the solve is exceptionally timesaving. Does anyone know where to find the 'speedsolve' method? mine is just forming an enclosure, going up to make another, then down, making most of the second to last enclosure backwards (stepwise)before the 3-twist finish. I'm sure that doesn't make much sense sorry. | 20070421 |
| 23 | 4.50 seconds | Brian Cosgrove Paye | this came out of nowhere. when i try to time my self my snake always twists the wrong way. When i get an average solve when timing it ends up being a new pb | 20070421 |
| 24 | 4.71 seconds | Michael Stock | i call it a rubiks twist | 20070618 |
| 25 | 4.78 seconds | Ahmed Panju | Well, one of my friend saw me solving it and he asked me how fats i could really do it. He also brought a video camera. I will post it soon! | 20090510 |
| 26 | 4.8 seconds | Per Kristen Fredlund | This was too easy. First go at this after picking out my snake again . | |
| 27 | 4.80 seconds | Parker Gaitley | Timed stackmat style at my computer. only got on the 16 of this month at Caltech Tourny. i wish these would be used at the competitions. | 20050420 |
| 28 | 4.84 seconds | Craig Bouchard | Got this on.Sunday. Bob taught me how to do it, didn't understand it, got better at it monday/tuesday, got home wednesday, played with it a bit on thursday, and then tonight did this. Got a 5.12 on video. Check Strangepuzzle.com | 20060810 |
| 29 | 4.93 seconds | Bob R. Burton | I'd still like to go faster. Visit my site. | 20060525 |
| 30 | 5 seconds | Brendan Trinh | I did this solve around last year. I was really fast then, i think i forgot how to solve it now.. | 20070407 |
| 31 | 5.22 seconds | Ben Whitmore | n/a | 20080809 |

| 35 | 5.8 seconds | Ric Horrocks | This brings back memories! My brother and I used to race, but it's been almost 15 years. My sister just presented us with a pair of snakes at a family BBQ. I had a time of 4.3 seconds starting with the snake in my hands, but 5.8 is my fastest time recorded on video starting with the snake on the table and ending when it hits the table again. | 20050905 |
| 36 | 5.91 seconds | Tyler Barchek | Learned it yesterday and couldn't put it down. | 20080729 |

| 38 | 5.94 seconds | Tim Reynolds | Pulled it out two days ago and figured out a method started taking times last night. This is fun! | 20060506 |
| 39 | 5.97 seconds | Josh Rotholz | Not bad at all. The very beginning is what slows me down, but I'm getting better. Maybe I'll be sub-5 soon. | 20080130 |
| 40 | 6.03 seconds | Alex Vega | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FA3kWUlZTs 4th day of playing with it. almost at sub 6! | 20080321 |
| 41 | 6.07 seconds | Tyler Wilkinson | n/a | 20070503 |
| 42 | 6.14 seconds | Zac Livesay | Just thought i would post up my newest snake time. I sure hope they spell my name (Zac) right this time, unlike in my average of the snake. Solve was done to intentionally get on this page, it's really hard to do this puzzle with sweaty fingers! =) | 20070315 |
| 42 | 6.14 seconds | Brian Macutay | i was just timing myself one day and got this time im at sub-6 | 20090201 |
| 44 | 6.15 seconds | Jeff Soesbe | Trying for a good average of 12, but had too many DNF. How do you DNF the Rubik's Snake? You try really, really hard. | 20060502 |

| 48 | 7.05 seconds | Sean Connolly | I have just beaten my old record of 7.14 seconds which lasted for over a year! Furthermore, I have this attempt recorded on my webcam and timed with my stackmat! If you want to see it in action, head over to http://www.cosine-systems.com and look in my Rubiks multimedia page! Sub-7 seconds is soooo close now! Can I do it before the end of 2004? Who knows! =-D | |
