Curtis Griffin

3×3 one-handed · top 6.5% of 73,695 all-time · competing since July 2017 · 2017GRIF07

Curtis Griffin has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 14.21, set at Bayou Back to School 2018, puts him in the top 6.5% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 896th in the United States. Until September 2009, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since July 2017, he has put 208 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 7% around a typical one, steadier than 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.49 in July 2017 to 10.64, a 39% improvement. Curtis has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
