Soufiane Lakhlifi

3×3 · top 21.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2017 · 2017LAKH02

Soufiane Lakhlifi has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 14.17, set at Morocco Summer 2019, puts him in the top 21.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 35th in Morocco. Across 15 competitions since March 2017, he has put 278 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 60% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.73 in March 2017 to 14.17, a 15% improvement. Soufiane has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
