Ethan Waworuntu has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 18.58, set at World Rubik's Cube Championship 2017, puts him in the top 35.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 20,113th in the United States. Across 8 competitions since March 2016, he has put 47 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% 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 22.59 in March 2016 to 18.58, an 18% improvement. Ethan has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
