Clément Pan

3×3 · top 4.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2017 · 2017PANC01

Clément Pan has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.04, set at Lente Spring 2024, puts him in the top 4.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 280th in France. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since February 2017, he has put 127 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 90% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.51 in February 2017 to 9.04, a 28% improvement. He has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
