Jaxom Woods has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.79, set at Spark Melbourne Autumn Saturday 2026, puts him in the top 4.4% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 415th in Australia. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since November 2022, he has put 112 official solves on the record across four events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 14.34 in November 2022 to 8.79, a 39% improvement. Jaxom has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
