Uri Herzog
3×3 · top 5.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2023 · 2023HERZ01
Uri Herzog has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.18, set at Cubing for Yuval 2023, puts him in the top 5.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 154th in Israel. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since March 2023, he has put 84 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.10 in March 2023 to 9.18, a 39% improvement. Uri has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
