3×3 · top 10.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2020 · 2020NARI01
Hiroki Nariyoshi has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.84, set at BC Championship 2024, puts him in the top 10.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 919th in Canada. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since February 2020, he has put 112 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 62% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.70 in February 2020 to 10.84, a 31% improvement. Hiroki has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
