Dylan Erece-Verches

3×3 · top 1.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since January 2019 · 2019EREC01

Dylan Erece-Verches has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.96, set at Queensland Open 2023, puts him in the top 1.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 45th in New Zealand. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since January 2019, he has put 245 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 92% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.09 in January 2019 to 6.96, a 74% improvement. Dylan has entered twelve 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.
