Laken Jenkins

3×3 · top 5.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2024 · 2024JENK01

Laken Jenkins has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.10, set at Brisbane Summer 2025, puts him in the top 5.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 475th in Australia. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since February 2024, he has put 55 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 83% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.62 in February 2024 to 9.10, a 22% improvement. Laken 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.
