Lucas Peters has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.70, set at Nipomo Spring 2018, puts him in the top 3.1% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,221st in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 29 competitions since January 2016, he has put 501 official solves on the record across nine events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 32.37 in January 2016 to 11.63, a 64% improvement. Lucas has entered 29 competitions, more competitions than 98% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
