Monty Fox has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 4.96, set at Bristol August 2026, puts him in the top 0.11% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 9th in the United Kingdom. Until November 2015, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 62 competitions since February 2023, he has put 3,589 official solves on the record across eleven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 8.64 in April 2023 to 4.96, a 43% improvement. Monty has entered 62 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
