Kenneth Stewart

3×3 · top 4.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2017 · 2017STEW05

Kenneth Stewart has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.61, set at SnoCo Fall 2019, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,241st in the United States. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since August 2017, he has put 75 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.08 in August 2017 to 8.61, a 61% improvement. Kenneth has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
