3×3 · top 9.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2015 · 2015AIRD01
Lachlan Aird has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.81, set at ASFA Speedcubing 2018, puts him in the top 9.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 875th in Australia. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since August 2015, he has put 137 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 74% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 36.53 in August 2015 to 10.81, a 70% improvement. Lachlan has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
