Pavel Mishin (Павел Мишин) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 40.60, set at Bogoroditsk Open 2021, puts him in the top 7.0% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 18th in Russia. Until August 2009, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since September 2019, he has put 118 official solves on the record across nine events.

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.
