Artem Kuminov

Clock · top 9.3% of 32,048 all-time · competing since October 2017 · 2017KUMI02

Artem Kuminov has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 6.56, set at Vladivostok Spring 2020, puts him in the top 9.3% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 31st in Russia. Until June 2010, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 25 competitions since October 2017, he has put 253 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 95% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 41.76 in October 2017 to 16.90, a 60% improvement. Artem has entered 25 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
