Gage Vida has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.26, set at SacCubing XVIII 2024, puts him in the top 5.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,070th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2024, he has put 80 official solves on the record across three events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 12.49 in August 2024 to 9.26, a 26% improvement. Gage has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
