Florian Jakobs

3×3 · top 9.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2016 · 2016JAKO02

Florian Jakobs has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.50, set at German Nationals 2019, puts him in the top 9.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 459th in Germany. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since October 2016, he has put 71 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.57 in October 2016 to 10.50, a 16% improvement. Florian has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. 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.
