Andrew Brown
3×3 one-handed · top 2.8% of 73,695 all-time · competing since November 2010 · 2010BROW03
Andrew Brown has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 11.81, set at Cubetcha 2011, puts him in the top 2.8% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 434th in the United States. Until August 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since November 2010, he has put 188 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 79% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. Andrew has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
