3×3 · top 7.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2018 · 2018ANDE09
Isaac Anderson has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.09, set at Pikes Peak PM 2026, puts him in the top 7.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,256th in the United States. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since May 2018, he has put 86 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 51.27 in May 2018 to 10.09, an 80% improvement. Isaac has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
