Brendan Frank

3×3 · top 15.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since January 2020 · 2020FRAN02

Brendan Frank has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 12.51, set at Empire State Summer B 2021, puts him in the top 15.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8,378th in the United States. Across 4 competitions since January 2020, he has put 54 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.32 in January 2020 to 12.51, a 35% 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.
