Henry Mermel

3×3 · top 26.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since September 2022 · 2022MERM01

Henry Mermel has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 15.46, set at Bay Area Speedcubin' 50 - Berkeley 2023, puts him in the top 26.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 14,148th in the United States. Across 6 competitions since September 2022, he has put 45 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 26.43 in September 2022 to 15.46, a 42% improvement. Henry 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.
