3×3 · top 5.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2022 · 2022BEAU04
Jacob Beaudway has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.34, set at Erie Spring 2025, puts him in the top 5.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,170th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since June 2022, he has put 119 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.90 in June 2022 to 9.34, a 14% improvement. Jacob has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
