Rui Reis

3×3 · top 8.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2015 · 2015REIS02

Rui Reis has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.34, set at Franconia Mini Open A 2023, puts him in the top 8.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 109th in Switzerland. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 81 competitions since March 2015, he has put 1,453 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 61% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.34 in March 2015 to 10.34, a 56% improvement. Rui has entered 81 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
