Jacob W. Jiang has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 12.05, set at DFW Qualifier 2025, puts him in the top 14.1% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 7,673rd in the United States. Across 12 competitions since January 2024, he has put 119 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 90% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.53 in January 2024 to 12.05, a 35% improvement. Jacob has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
