3×3 blindfolded · top 0.48% of 12,178 all-time · competing since May 2016 · 2016KLAS01
Jake Klassen has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 16.43, set at Calgary Please Be Quiet 2026, puts him in the top 0.48% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3rd in Canada. Until April 2019, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 40 competitions since May 2016, he has put 934 official solves on the record across 17 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 94% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 14 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.22 in November 2016 to 7.03, a 31% improvement. Jake has entered 40 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
