Lee Glendenning has been competing for 15 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 12.10, set at Toronto Open Winter 2015, puts him in the top 14.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,343rd in Canada. Across 19 competitions since August 2011, he has put 615 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 65% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 8 DNFs. His 3×3 one-handed best has come down from 40.68 in June 2012 to 20.52, a 50% improvement. Lee has entered 19 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
