Eltjo Rietman has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.15, set at Dutch Nationals 2022, puts him in the top 3.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 93rd in the Netherlands. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since November 2021, he has put 81 official solves on the record across two events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 9.27 in November 2021 to 8.15, a 12% improvement. Eltjo has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
