Albin Jacobson has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 11.12, set at DFW Cubing Spring 2024, puts him in the top 10.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5,875th in the United States. Across 11 competitions since December 2017, he has put 204 official solves on the record across six events.

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.
