3×3 · top 6.8% of 288,433 all-time · competing since August 2021 · 2021LIGO01
Andriy Ligostayev (Андрій Лігостаєв) has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.73, set at U24 Open September 2022, puts him in the top 6.8% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 190th in Ukraine. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since August 2021, he has put 84 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.42 in August 2021 to 9.73, a 33% improvement. Andriy has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
