Hilay Ilan has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.86, set at Israel Championship 2024, puts him in the top 2.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 85th in Israel.

His 3×3 best has come down from 15.01 in February 2024 to 7.86, a 48% improvement. Hilay has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
