Gabriel Stein has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 13.13, set at Rubik's WCA Oceanic Championship 2022, puts him in the top 4.6% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 100th in Australia. Until January 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since December 2021, he has put 162 official solves on the record across 13 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one; 97% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.64 in December 2021 to 9.04, a 22% improvement. Gabriel has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
