3×3 · top 0.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2017 · 2017KUNA01

Linus Kunath has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.03, set at German Nationals 2023, puts him in the top 0.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 23rd in Germany. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 86 competitions since December 2017, he has put 5,031 official solves on the record across 15 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 65% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.11 in December 2017 to 6.03, a 70% improvement. Linus has entered 86 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
