3×3 · top 5.5% of 288,433 all-time · competing since January 2025 · 2025WAAU01
Felix Waauff has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.25, set at Rubik's WCA European Championship 2026, puts him in the top 5.5% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 70th in Belgium. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since January 2025, he has put 149 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 57% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.41 in January 2025 to 9.25, a 62% improvement. Felix has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
