Charles Jerome has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 0.78, set at Virginia Championship 2023, puts him in the top 0.21% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 90th in the United States. Until November 2011, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 73 competitions since April 2016, he has put 3,326 official solves on the record across 14 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 27.62 in April 2016 to 5.51, an 80% improvement. Charles has entered 73 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
