3×3 Fewest Moves · top 9.9% of 12,294 all-time · competing since May 2010 · 2010EIKE01
Ralph Eikelenberg has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3 Fewest Moves: a personal-best single of 28 moves, set at Eindhoven Open 2012, puts him in the top 9.9% of the 12,294 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 18th in the Netherlands. Across 21 competitions since May 2010, he has put 152 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 80% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 8 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 50.90 in May 2010 to 27.44, a 46% improvement. Ralph has entered 21 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
