3×3 · top 9.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2015 · 2015COLE03
Aaron Coleman has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.64, set at Wiltshire Winter 2023, puts him in the top 9.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 681st in the United Kingdom. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since November 2015, he has put 102 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.70 in November 2015 to 10.64, a 57% improvement. Aaron 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.
