Filip Karras has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.09, set at Herrljunga Open 2022, puts him in the top 5.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 162nd in Sweden. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since June 2016, he has put 145 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 91% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.52 in June 2016 to 9.09, a 27% improvement. Filip has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
