Caleb A. Dornfeld has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.56, set at Brazos Cubing Fall 2023, puts him in the top 9.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,749th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since April 2022, he has put 145 official solves on the record across four events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 19.22 in April 2022 to 11.96, a 38% improvement. Caleb has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
