Clock · top 3.9% of 32,048 all-time · competing since July 2022 · 2022LAZI01

Yanis Hadj Lazib has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 4.79, set at Rhein-Neckar Winter 2024, puts him in the top 3.9% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 18th in Germany. Until June 2015, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 17 competitions since July 2022, he has put 462 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 62% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.54 in July 2022 to 11.82, a 42% improvement. Yanis has entered 17 competitions, more competitions than 96% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
