Pavlo Parafilo (Павло Парафіло)

3×3 · top 9.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2018 · 2018PARA02

Pavlo Parafilo (Павло Парафіло) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.50, set at Ukrainian Nationals 2019, puts him in the top 9.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 241st in Ukraine. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since March 2018, he has put 219 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 6.69 in March 2018 to 4.43, a 34% improvement. Pavlo has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
