Kalani Little
3×3 · top 8.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2022 · 2022LITT03
Kalani Little has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.28, set at Cranbourne Spring Sunday 2023, puts him in the top 8.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 750th in Australia. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since July 2022, he has put 68 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 41.35 in July 2022 to 10.28, a 75% improvement. Kalani has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
