Keone Shelley-Lyons
3×3 · top 5.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2016 · 2016SHEL04
Keone Shelley-Lyons has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.43, set at Palmerston North 2018, puts him in the top 5.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 135th in New Zealand. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since May 2016, he has put 151 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 84% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.57 in May 2016 to 9.43, a 56% improvement. Keone has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
