Hamish Duncan
3×3 blindfolded · top 7.2% of 12,178 all-time · competing since January 2022 · 2022DUNC02
Hamish Duncan has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 41.31, set at Please Be Finished Brisbane 2026, puts him in the top 7.2% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 36th in Australia. Until August 2009, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since January 2022, he has put 129 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.91 in January 2022 to 11.09, a 26% improvement. Hamish has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
