3×3 · top 7.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2017 · 2017YULM01

Timur Yulmukhametov has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.96, set at Ural Winter 2020, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 278th in Russia. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since November 2017, he has put 277 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 34.53 in November 2017 to 9.96, a 71% improvement. Timur has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
