Jesse Turner

3×3 · top 6.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2017 · 2017TURN05

Jesse Turner has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.79, set at San Diego Summer 2019, puts him in the top 6.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,763rd in the United States. Until October 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since November 2017, he has put 188 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 65% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 8 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.20 in November 2017 to 9.79, a 40% improvement. Jesse has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
