Aaron Kuusela

3×3 · top 54.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2015 · 2015KUUS01

Aaron Kuusela has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 25.66, set at Melbourne Cube Days 2015, puts him in the top 54.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5,716th in Australia. Across 8 competitions since March 2015, he has put 99 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 31.46 in March 2015 to 25.66, an 18% improvement. Aaron has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
