3×3 · top 20.3% of 288,433 all-time · competing since March 2006 · 2006HASH02
Tatsuya Hashimoto (橋本達哉) has been competing for 21 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 13.80, set at Osaka Open 2008, puts him in the top 20.3% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 880th in Japan. Across 6 competitions since March 2006, he has put 84 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 90% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.21 in March 2006 to 13.80, a 28% improvement. Tatsuya has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
