3×3 · top 8.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2024 · 2024RUSA01
Aleš Rus has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.35, set at Medvode Open 2025, puts him in the top 8.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 49th in Slovenia. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since November 2024, he has put 136 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 91% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.42 in November 2024 to 10.35, a 28% improvement. He has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
