Beste Cifci has been competing for 4 years. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 5.85, set at St Oliver's Speedy Sunday 2023, puts her in the top 49.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,909th in Australia. Across 17 competitions since January 2023, she has put 168 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 93% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside her 8 DNFs.

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.
