3×3 · top 6.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since September 2024 · 2024STAN29
Emilia Stanhope has been competing for a year. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.65, set at Kewbz UK Championship 2026, puts her in the top 6.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 489th in the United Kingdom. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since September 2024, she has put 131 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one; 97% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. Her 3×3 best has come down from 19.48 in September 2024 to 9.65, a 50% improvement. Emilia has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
