Gunnar Ivarsson has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.48, set at Malmö Cube Contest 2022, puts him in the top 0.84% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 38th in Sweden. Until May 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since April 2017, he has put 495 official solves on the record across eight events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 13.50 in April 2017 to 6.48, a 52% improvement. Gunnar has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
