Jacob Langedijk

3×3 · top 2.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2023 · 2023LANG14

Jacob Langedijk has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.08, set at Eat Sleep Cube Repeat Leersum 2025, puts him in the top 2.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 87th in the Netherlands. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since June 2023, he has put 177 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 94% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.88 in June 2023 to 8.08, a 42% improvement. Jacob has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
