3×3 · top 58.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2010 · 2010BARA01
Bogdan Bara has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 28.03, set at U.R.A. Back to School 2017, puts him in the top 58.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 823rd in Romania. Across 10 competitions since December 2010, he has put 62 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 21% around a typical one; 99% 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 1:42.15 in December 2010 to 28.03, a 73% improvement. Bogdan has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
