Gereon Kahrau
3×3 · top 8.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2009 · 2009KAHR01
Gereon Kahrau has been competing for 17 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.22, set at German Open 2016, puts him in the top 8.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 414th in Germany. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since April 2009, he has put 164 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 54% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 35.38 in April 2009 to 10.22, a 71% improvement. Gereon has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
