Artem Rogachev

3×3 · top 6.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2010 · 2010ROGA01

Artem Rogachev has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.79, set at Ekat Summer 2018, puts him in the top 6.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 249th in Russia. Until October 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since November 2010, he has put 141 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 81% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.44 in November 2010 to 9.79, a 60% improvement. Artem has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
