Helmi Gaaloul

3×3 · top 68.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2014 · 2014GAAL01

Helmi Gaaloul has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 33.47, set at Tunisia Winter Open 2015, puts him in the top 68.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 60th in Tunisia. Across 15 competitions since December 2014, he has put 226 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 75% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 51.73 in December 2014 to 33.47, a 35% improvement. Helmi has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
