Yanis Zeka
3×3 · top 4.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2024 · 2024ZEKA01
Yanis Zeka has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.01, set at NxN in Jura 2026, puts him in the top 4.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 60th in Switzerland. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since October 2024, he has put 162 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 61% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.29 in October 2024 to 9.01, a 20% improvement. Yanis has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
