Blue James has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 2.56, set at Rubik's WCA European Championship 2026, puts him in the top 0.29% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8th in the United Kingdom. Until January 2024, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 105 competitions since January 2022, he has put 4,402 official solves on the record across 17 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 36.54 in January 2022 to 7.43, an 80% improvement. Blue has entered 105 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
