3×3 · top 1.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2023 · 2023TWIZ01
Ethan Twizer has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.23, set at Haifa Cubing 2025, puts him in the top 1.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 59th in Israel. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since April 2023, he has put 105 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.28 in April 2023 to 7.23, a 49% improvement. Ethan has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
