Blake Lapworth

3×3 · top 58.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2023 · 2023LAPW01

Blake Lapworth has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 27.81, set at Melbourne Cube Days 2023, puts him in the top 58.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 6,342nd in Australia. Across 7 competitions since July 2023, he has put 77 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 58.80 in July 2023 to 27.81, a 53% improvement. Blake has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
