Jesse Mailloux has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.78, set at Cubehenge 2023, puts him in the top 3.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,363rd in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 80 competitions since April 2014, he has put 2,592 official solves on the record across 14 events.

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.
