Aiden Machet has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.81, set at Edinburgh Summer 2023, puts him in the top 4.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 353rd in the United Kingdom. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since September 2022, he has put 208 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 56% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.61 in September 2022 to 8.81, a 50% improvement. Aiden has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
