Brendan Alinquant

3×3 · top 5.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2022 · 2022ALIN01

Brendan Alinquant has been competing for 4 years. Their best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.22, set at Dublin Summer Solving 2024, puts them in the top 5.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 84th in Ireland. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since July 2022, they have put 85 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, their 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 93% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Their 3×3 best has come down from 14.54 in July 2022 to 9.22, a 37% improvement. Brendan has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
