Jude Murphy

2×2 · top 35.2% of 186,767 all-time · competing since May 2022 · 2022MURP04

Jude Murphy has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 4.68, set at North Sydney Cube Day 2023, puts him in the top 35.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,768th in Australia. Across 11 competitions since May 2022, he has put 100 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 51% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 50.22 in May 2022 to 23.89, a 52% improvement. Jude has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
