Sven Peillex

3×3 · top 4.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2016 · 2016PEIL01

Sven Peillex has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.81, set at Saint-Maurice Sunday Open 2018, puts him in the top 4.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 261st in France. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since October 2016, he has put 192 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 78% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 3.85 in October 2016 to 3.17, an 18% improvement. Sven has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
