3×3 · top 3.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2015 · 2015PALA07
Billy Palaiologos has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.31, set at Greece Spring Open 2016, puts him in the top 3.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 47th in Greece. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since August 2015, he has put 135 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. Billy has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
