Shakohentehtha Elijah

3×3 · top 8.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2019 · 2019ELIJ01

Shakohentehtha Elijah has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.17, set at Empire State Spring Sprint 2024, puts him in the top 8.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,387th in the United States. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since October 2019, he has put 84 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.47 in October 2019 to 10.17, an 18% improvement. Shakohentehtha has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
