Christian Dennison
3×3 · top 7.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since January 2019 · 2019DENN02
Christian Dennison has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.86, set at MLWGS Winter 2020, puts him in the top 7.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,891st in the United States. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since January 2019, he has put 106 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 97% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.87 in January 2019 to 9.86, a 38% improvement. Christian has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
