Alexandre Thiroux

3×3 · top 64.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2013 · 2013THIR01

Alexandre Thiroux has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 30.86, set at Hem MariCubik Open 2018, puts him in the top 64.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,783rd in France. Across 10 competitions since May 2013, he has put 101 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 19% around a typical one; 99% 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 37.81 in May 2013 to 30.86, an 18% improvement. Alexandre has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
