3×3 blindfolded · top 5.4% of 12,178 all-time · competing since October 2024 · 2024ILIN03
Andrei Ilin (Андрей Ильин) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 34.67, set at PBQ in Almaty 2026, puts him in the top 5.4% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 14th in Russia. Until February 2010, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since October 2024, he has put 9 official solves on the record across four events. His 3×3 blindfolded best has come down from 48.65 in October 2024 to 34.67, a 29% improvement. Andrei has entered two 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.
