Edmund Rothfus has been competing for 18 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 12.47, set at A Bruin Cube Day Spring 2023, puts him in the top 15.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8,307th in the United States. Across 8 competitions since December 2008, he has put 136 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 64% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.77 in December 2008 to 12.47, a 43% improvement. Edmund 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.
