What is the 2x2 world record single solve?

The fastest average time to solve a 2x2x2 rotating puzzle cube is 1.01 seconds, and was achieved by Zayn Khanani (USA) at the Pioneer Valley Cubing B 2023 event in Amherst, Massachusetts, USA, on 22 January 2023.

What are the odds of solving a 2x2 Rubik's cube?

Very low. For each turn, you have a 1 in 4.3 quintillion chance of solving the cube. So if you randomly turn it about 100 times, you odds would still be quite low.

After tons of practice, you should be able to solve it in under 20 seconds.

Why is my 2x2 unsolvable?

Most of the times, the Rubik's Cube becomes unsolvable because someone, intentionally or unintentionally, takes one or more pieces out of the cube. If the piece is now put back in the cube in a different position or orientation, the cube will now be impossible to solve.
