Carter Stumne has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.44, set at Minnesota Cube Melt 2015, puts him in the top 8.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,815th in the United States. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since April 2013, he has put 241 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 58% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 31.34 in April 2013 to 10.44, a 67% improvement. Carter has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
