3×3 · top 7.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2018 · 2018KULI01
Stoyan Kulish has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.97, set at Pernik Open 2024, puts him in the top 7.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 38th in Bulgaria. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since May 2018, he has put 108 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 84% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.18 in May 2018 to 9.97, a 57% improvement. Stoyan has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
