Eli Geller
3×3 · top 9.1% of 288,433 all-time · competing since September 2019 · 2019GELL01
Eli Geller has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.54, set at Slow N Steady Spring 2022, puts him in the top 9.1% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5,055th in the United States. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since September 2019, he has put 72 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.90 in September 2019 to 10.54, a 29% improvement. Eli has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
