Mitchell J. Hills has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.20, set at Tassie Winter 2023, puts him in the top 8.1% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 747th in Australia. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since March 2023, he has put 175 official solves on the record across six events.

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.
