Daniil Lee has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.11, set at Moscow Summer 2013, puts him in the top 1.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 36th in Russia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 21 competitions since November 2010, he has put 715 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 12.80 in November 2010 to 7.11, a 44% improvement. Daniil has entered 21 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
