Efe Öztürk has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.16, set at Pre-Nats İstanbul 2025, puts him in the top 1.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 16th in Turkey. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 18 competitions since December 2018, he has put 824 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 17.03 in December 2018 to 7.16, a 58% improvement. Efe has entered 18 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
