Arthur Bekdjanov has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 13.11, set at Bay Area Speedcubin' 48 - 6.25 Berkeley 2023, puts him in the top 17.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 34th in Kyrgyzstan. Across 6 competitions since January 2020, he has put 114 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 57% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 44.58 in January 2020 to 13.11, a 71% improvement. Arthur has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
