Eszter Szabó has been competing for 21 years. Her best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 17.43, set at Slovenian Open 2010, puts her in the top 56.9% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 99th in Hungary. Across 13 competitions since November 2005, she has put 90 official solves on the record across five events.

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.
