Jayden Anderson has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 12.72, set at Cubestuff Centurion Q1 2026, puts him in the top 16.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 191st in South Africa. Across 5 competitions since November 2023, he has put 92 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 58% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.62 in November 2023 to 12.72, a 41% improvement. Jayden has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
