Caden Holliday has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.52, set at New Braunfels Comal Cubing Classic 2026, puts him in the top 9.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,931st in the United States. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since March 2025, he has put 109 official solves on the record across seven events.

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.
