3×3 · top 0.84% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2021 · 2021OYAK01
Kaede Oya has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.48, set at Only Cubes in Scarborough 2026, puts him in the top 0.84% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 88th in Australia. Until May 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since October 2021, he has put 183 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 54% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.23 in October 2021 to 6.48, a 62% improvement. Kaede has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
