Daniil Lukin (Данил Лукин) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.17, set at Eka Cube Winter 2020, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 196th in Russia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since August 2018, he has put 283 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 64% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His Skewb best has come down from 10.80 in August 2018 to 3.34, a 69% improvement. Daniil has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
