3×3 one-handed · top 1.1% of 73,695 all-time · competing since September 2023 · 2023LAUE02

Elliot Lau has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 10.12, set at Back to Downtown Singapore 2026, puts him in the top 1.1% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 16th in Singapore. Until December 2011, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 35 competitions since September 2023, he has put 816 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 87% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His Skewb best has come down from 8.00 in June 2024 to 2.42, a 70% improvement. Elliot has entered 35 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, Skewb. 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.
