Matthew Pinnock

3×3 · top 9.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2014 · 2014PINN02

Matthew Pinnock has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.80, set at Cubes on the Bayside Spring 2024, puts him in the top 9.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5,360th in the United States. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since December 2014, he has put 72 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.34 in December 2014 to 10.80, a 57% improvement. Matthew has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
