George Francklin has been competing for 10 months. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 12.39, set at Grantham Autumn 2026, puts him in the top 36.9% of the 32,817 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 504th in the United Kingdom. Across 5 competitions since December 2025, he has put 86 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His Clock best has come down from 19.14 in December 2025 to 12.39, a 35% improvement. George 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.
