Aleister Cox

3×3 · top 19.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2019 · 2019COXA02

Aleister Cox has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 13.55, set at ROC the Cube 2022, puts him in the top 19.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 10,422nd in the United States. Across 7 competitions since October 2019, he has put 64 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 64% 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 24.26 in October 2019 to 13.55, a 44% improvement. Aleister has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
