Jared Astrof

3×3 · top 2.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2016 · 2016ASTR01

Jared Astrof has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.59, set at New York City Fall 2018, puts him in the top 2.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,257th in the United States. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 28 competitions since May 2016, he has put 716 official solves on the record across four events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 14.93 in May 2016 to 7.59, a 49% improvement. Jared has entered 28 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
