3×3 one-handed · top 3.1% of 74,621 all-time · competing since June 2019 · 2019RAZA08
Valisoa Tiavina Léonard Razafindrainibe has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 12.05, set at Cubing Mada 2024, puts him in the top 3.1% of the 74,621 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3rd in Madagascar. Until January 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since June 2019, he has put 108 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 80% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.37 in June 2019 to 8.90, a 14% improvement. Valisoa has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
