Emil Diring

3×3 · top 1.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2019 · 2019DIRI01

Emil Diring has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.97, set at German Mini Open B 2022, puts him in the top 1.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 75th in Germany. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since April 2019, he has put 212 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one; 98% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.99 in April 2019 to 6.97, a 37% improvement. Emil has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
