3×3 · top 2.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2023 · 2023FARQ01
Jack Farquhar has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.87, set at Tramsheds III: August Sunday 2024, puts him in the top 2.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 253rd in Australia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since May 2023, he has put 113 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 70% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.37 in May 2023 to 7.87, a 52% improvement. Jack 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.
