3×3 · top 1.7% of 288,433 all-time · competing since June 2015 · 2015MATE03
Keenan Matelski has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.28, set at CubingUSA Southeast Championship 2023, puts him in the top 1.7% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,032nd in the United States. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since June 2015, he has put 213 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 20% around a typical one; 99% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.89 in June 2015 to 7.28, a 71% improvement. Keenan has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
