Richard Uibo

3×3 · top 4.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2018 · 2018UIBO01

Richard Uibo has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.93, set at Tartu Open 2019, puts him in the top 4.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 14th in Estonia. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since December 2018, he has put 310 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 89% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.91 in December 2018 to 8.93, a 61% improvement. Richard has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
