Alexei Kharin

3×3 · top 9.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2009 · 2009KHAR01

Alexei Kharin has been competing for 18 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.78, set at Russia Open 2010, puts him in the top 9.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 398th in Russia. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since March 2009, he has put 39 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.61 in March 2009 to 10.78, a 56% improvement. Alexei has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
