Yatin Obili

3×3 · top 24.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2018 · 2018OBIL01

Yatin Obili has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 14.87, set at Waco Cube Assembly 2019, puts him in the top 24.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 13,018th in the United States. Across 10 competitions since February 2018, he has put 120 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 77% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.79 in February 2018 to 14.87, a 25% improvement. Yatin has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
