3×3 · top 4.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2011 · 2011ANON03

Anonymous has been competing for 15 years. Their best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.84, set at AZCubing Summer 2017, puts them in the top 4.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,509th in the United States. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since December 2011, they have put 214 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, their 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 84% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Their 3×3 best has come down from 29.72 in December 2011 to 8.84, a 70% improvement. Anonymous has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% of everyone who has ever competed.

Percentile against all competitors ever ranked in each event, a fairer measure than raw rank, because the pools differ by a factor of ten.

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.
