Evgeny Novikov

3×3 · top 11.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2015 · 2015NOVI01

Evgeny Novikov has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 11.16, set at SPB Easter Open 2017, puts him in the top 11.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 465th in Russia. Across 3 competitions since October 2015, he has put 38 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.07 in October 2015 to 11.16, a 21% improvement. Evgeny has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
