Jermaine Manthey
3×3 · top 3.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since September 2017 · 2017MANT08
Jermaine Manthey has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.13, set at U Cube at UQ Sunday 2023, puts him in the top 3.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 297th in Australia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since September 2017, he has put 344 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 60% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 9 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.56 in September 2017 to 8.13, a 23% improvement. Jermaine has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
