Matthew Lee has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.24, set at DFW Cubing Summer 2023, puts him in the top 8.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,498th in the United States. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since May 2023, he has put 24 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.66 in May 2023 to 10.24, a 25% improvement. Matthew has entered two competitions.

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.
