Square-1 · top 0.46% of 25,662 all-time · competing since January 2022 · 2022CUIA01

Auric Cui has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the Square-1: a personal-best single of 5.47, set at Australian Nationals 2025, puts him in the top 0.46% of the 25,662 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8th in Australia. Until October 2018, no official Square-1 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 53 competitions since January 2022, he has put 2,371 official solves on the record across 17 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 61% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.46 in January 2022 to 7.16, a 59% improvement. Auric has entered 53 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
