3×3 · top 91.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2015 · 2015POLY02

Evgeniy Polyakov has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 59.79, set at PSU Open 2016, puts him in the top 91.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5,844th in Russia. Across 5 competitions since October 2015, he has put 28 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 27% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs.

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.
