Taras Petruk (Тарас Петрук) has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 13.07, set at Ukrainian Open 2013, puts him in the top 17.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 472nd in Ukraine. Across 6 competitions since April 2012, he has put 67 official solves on the record across four events.

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.
