Aron Puddy-Mathew has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 35.59, set at Melbourne Cube Day 2011, puts him in the top 5.7% of the 12,334 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 29th in Australia. Until February 2010, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since September 2010, he has put 234 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 95% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Aron 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.
