Yestin John Epa
3×3 · top 6.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2017 · 2017EPAY01
Yestin John Epa has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.74, set at Davao Year End Open 2017, puts him in the top 6.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 695th in the Philippines. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since June 2017, he has put 144 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 55% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.81 in June 2017 to 9.74, a 29% improvement. Yestin has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
