3×3 · top 6.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2016 · 2016TAKE02

Go Takeuchi (竹内豪) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.56, set at Tribox Open Spring 2018, puts him in the top 6.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 264th in Japan. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since May 2016, he has put 25 official solves on the record across two events. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.05 in May 2016 to 9.56, a 40% improvement. Go has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
