Alve Carlqvist has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.50, set at Cuboss Open 2025, puts him in the top 0.25% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 13th in Sweden. Until April 2015, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 52 competitions since September 2021, he has put 2,620 official solves on the record across ten events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 25.86 in September 2021 to 5.50, a 79% improvement. Alve has entered 52 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
