Carter Boone has been competing for 7 months. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.65, set at GA Cuber Jackets Fall 2026, puts him in the top 9.5% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5,232nd in the United States. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since March 2026, he has put 114 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs.

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.
