3×3 · top 3.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2017 · 2017GOER01
Charles Goertz has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.53, set at Ajax Winter 2019, puts him in the top 3.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 371st in Canada. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since March 2017, he has put 169 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 69% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.96 in March 2017 to 8.53, a 43% improvement. Charles has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
