Dexter Lenz

3×3 one-handed · top 2.3% of 73,695 all-time · competing since July 2024 · 2024LENZ02

Dexter Lenz has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 11.45, set at Barberton Mini 9 2026, puts him in the top 2.3% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 375th in the United States. Until August 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since July 2024, he has put 304 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 65% 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 35.11 in July 2024 to 8.94, a 75% improvement. Dexter has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
