Hugh Meade

3×3 · top 42.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2023 · 2023MEAD02

Hugh Meade has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 21.06, set at Queensland Open 2023, puts him in the top 42.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,286th in Australia. Across 5 competitions since February 2023, he has put 65 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 33.10 in February 2023 to 21.06, a 36% improvement. Hugh has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
