Jacob DeWeerd has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 5.63, set at Rubik's WCA World Championship 2025, puts him in the top 6.1% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 473rd in the United States. Until December 2011, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 19 competitions since May 2018, he has put 395 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 1:02.24 in May 2018 to 14.07, a 77% improvement. Jacob has entered 19 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
