3×3 · top 7.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2023 · 2023KING17
Gabriel King has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.15, set at Austin Spring Open 2025, puts him in the top 7.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,357th in the United States. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since June 2023, he has put 161 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 93% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 36.99 in June 2023 to 10.15, a 73% improvement. Gabriel has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
