Grayson Simmons has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 11.72, set at Berwick Spring 2024, puts him in the top 12.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 6,923rd in the United States. Across 6 competitions since November 2023, he has put 148 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 16.72 in November 2023 to 11.72, a 30% improvement. Grayson has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
