Konrad Julian Jefferson Krafft
3×3 · top 3.0% of 289,612 all-time · competing since August 2021 · 2021KRAF01
Konrad Julian Jefferson Krafft has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.13, set at ODU Big Blue Winter 2024, puts him in the top 3.0% of the 289,612 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,766th in the United States. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 36 competitions since August 2021, he has put 1,095 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 90% of the 36,575 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 27 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.96 in August 2021 to 8.13, a 37% improvement. Konrad has entered 36 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
