Julian Favell has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.36, set at Ajax Winter 2019, puts him in the top 0.73% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 69th in Canada. Until May 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since July 2013, he has put 499 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 54% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.97 in July 2013 to 6.36, a 63% improvement. Julian has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
