Reuven Michaely has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.11, set at Hungarian Open 2024, puts him in the top 0.56% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 12th in Hungary. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since February 2020, he has put 329 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 58% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 31.59 in February 2020 to 6.11, an 81% improvement. Reuven has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
