3×3 · top 4.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2017 · 2017NEME03
Balázs Németh has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.85, set at Budapest Open 2019, puts him in the top 4.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 67th in Hungary. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since October 2017, he has put 158 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 88% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.77 in October 2017 to 8.85, a 47% improvement. He has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
