Mason Gray has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.89, set at Moncton 2025, puts him in the top 7.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 668th in Canada. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since April 2023, he has put 191 official solves on the record across four events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 13.97 in April 2023 to 9.89, a 29% improvement. Mason has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
