Henry Spear has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.58, set at Warmup for Worlds Olympia 2025, puts him in the top 0.28% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 189th in the United States. Until March 2013, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 37 competitions since November 2022, he has put 1,559 official solves on the record across twelve events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 15.64 in November 2022 to 5.58, a 64% improvement. Henry has entered 37 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
