3×3 · top 41.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2011 · 2011CHAL02

Matt Chalberg has been competing for 15 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 20.55, set at Hillsdale Winter 2012, puts him in the top 41.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 23,673rd in the United States. Across 4 competitions since November 2011, he has put 22 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 38.43 in November 2011 to 20.55, a 47% improvement. Matt 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.
