Vitalii Dolzhanskyi (Віталій Должанський) has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.06, set at Kharkiv Open 2014, puts him in the top 7.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 210th in Ukraine. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since April 2012, he has put 78 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.58 in April 2012 to 10.06, a 43% improvement. Vitalii 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.
