3×3 · top 4.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2011 · 2011MCPH01
Aaron McPhee has been competing for 15 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.64, set at Canadian Prairie Championship 2024, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 389th in Canada. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since July 2011, he has put 162 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 82% 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 35.08 in July 2011 to 8.64, a 75% improvement. Aaron 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.
