Ustsin Vashchanka

Square-1 · top 5.6% of 25,272 all-time · competing since April 2012 · 2012VASH01

Ustsin Vashchanka has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the Square-1: a personal-best single of 9.74, set at Minsk Winter 2015, puts him in the top 5.6% of the 25,272 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3rd in Belarus. Until October 2010, no official Square-1 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 18 competitions since April 2012, he has put 726 official solves on the record across 15 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 87% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.09 in April 2012 to 13.57, a 39% improvement. Ustsin has entered 18 competitions, more competitions than 96% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
