Alex Friedman has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 20.91, set at Warm Up Sydney 2019, puts him in the top 23.0% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 166th in Israel. Across 10 competitions since August 2016, he has put 130 official solves on the record across five 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.
