Lachlan Sherwood

3×3 · top 7.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2020 · 2020SHER02

Lachlan Sherwood has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.07, set at Queensland Open 2022, puts him in the top 7.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 707th in Australia. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since February 2020, he has put 69 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.44 in February 2020 to 10.07, a 25% improvement. Lachlan has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
