3×3 · top 24.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since January 2017 · 2017MAYN01

Ambrose Maynes has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 14.95, set at Midcoast Cubing 2018, puts him in the top 24.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 13,172nd in the United States. Across 8 competitions since January 2017, he has put 155 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 88% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.36 in January 2017 to 14.95, a 45% improvement. Ambrose has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
