Arsen Palamarchuk (Арсен Паламарчук)
2×2 · top 5.1% of 189,179 all-time · competing since April 2014 · 2014PALA02
Arsen Palamarchuk (Арсен Паламарчук) has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.05, set at Ukrainian Nationals 2018, puts him in the top 5.1% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 107th in Ukraine. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since April 2014, he has put 121 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 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 13.22 in July 2014 to 3.62, a 73% improvement. Arsen has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
