3×3 · top 3.2% of 288,433 all-time · competing since September 2024 · 2024ECHO03
Edward Echon has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.20, set at Mountain House Open 2026, puts him in the top 3.2% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,829th in the United States. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since September 2024, he has put 88 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.72 in September 2024 to 8.20, a 24% improvement. Edward has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
