Veikko Ylenius has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.41, set at Finnish Championship 2023, puts him in the top 8.1% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 109th in Finland. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since May 2023, he has put 84 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.84 in May 2023 to 10.41, a 45% improvement. Veikko 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.
