Chris Dennis

3×3 · top 31.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2016 · 2016DENN05

Chris Dennis has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 17.19, set at Pönde Open 2019, puts him in the top 31.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 17,460th in the United States. Across 19 competitions since July 2016, he has put 154 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 76% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 38.92 in August 2016 to 17.19, a 56% improvement. Chris has entered 19 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
