Tim Schulze has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.63, set at German Mini Open A 2022, puts him in the top 6.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 332nd in Germany. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since September 2018, he has put 260 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 91% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.83 in September 2018 to 9.63, a 25% improvement. Tim has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
