Chance J. Lockwood has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.15, set at Missoula 2021, puts him in the top 3.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,730th in the United States. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since September 2018, he has put 466 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 11.40 in September 2018 to 8.15, a 29% improvement. Chance has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
