3×3 · top 7.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2019 · 2019VALE16
Jack Valencia has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.97, set at TCG Power Up 2022, puts him in the top 7.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 320th in Peru. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since August 2019, he has put 75 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 73% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.95 in August 2019 to 9.97, a 47% improvement. Jack has entered 16 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
