Sven Hinüber

3×3 · top 36.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since January 2015 · 2015HINU02

Sven Hinüber has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 18.73, set at German Nationals 2016, puts him in the top 36.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,768th in Germany. Across 5 competitions since January 2015, he has put 74 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 1:08.53 in January 2015 to 18.73, a 73% improvement. Sven has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
