Albin Alfvén Rapphed

3×3 · top 9.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2018 · 2018RAPP01

Albin Alfvén Rapphed has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.55, set at Jonsered Open 2026, puts him in the top 9.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 253rd in Sweden. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since June 2018, he has put 101 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 83% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.89 in June 2018 to 10.55, a 38% improvement. Albin has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
