Bpaul Paul

3×3 blindfolded · top 0.61% of 12,178 all-time · competing since November 2014 · 2014PAUL05

Bpaul Paul has been competing for 12 years. Their best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 16.81, set at Please Be Quiet Brisbane 2023, puts them in the top 0.61% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5th in Australia. Until December 2018, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 32 competitions since November 2014, they have put 911 official solves on the record across 17 events. Solve to solve, their 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one; 97% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside their 10 DNFs. Their 3×3 best has come down from 51.69 in November 2014 to 9.95, an 81% improvement. Bpaul has entered 32 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
