Charlie Harrington

3×3 · top 14.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since September 2015 · 2015HARR07

Charlie Harrington has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 12.02, set at Melrose Winter 2016, puts him in the top 14.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 7,485th in the United States. Across 10 competitions since September 2015, he has put 188 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 95% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 30.66 in October 2015 to 12.02, a 61% improvement. Charlie has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
