Coles Plekon has been competing for a year. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 5.57, set at Longmont Open 2026, puts him in the top 5.9% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 456th in the United States. Until December 2011, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since September 2025, he has put 198 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 57% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 28.45 in September 2025 to 10.49, a 63% improvement. Coles has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
