3×3 · top 7.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2024 · 2024KLIA01
Kfir Kliakhandler has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.94, set at SacCubing XXI 2025, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,005th in the United States. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 26 competitions since April 2024, he has put 519 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 61% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 11 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 46.58 in April 2024 to 9.94, a 79% improvement. Kfir has entered 26 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
