3×3 · top 23.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2021 · 2021MITC02

Elijah Mitchell has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 14.73, set at Fredonia Finals 2025, puts him in the top 23.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 12,731st in the United States. Across 9 competitions since November 2021, he has put 135 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 83% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 26.52 in November 2021 to 14.73, a 44% improvement. Elijah has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
