Nathan Box-Billett has been competing for 15 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.65, set at Adelaide Summer 2017, puts him in the top 6.6% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 607th in Australia. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since February 2012, he has put 263 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 27.00 in February 2012 to 9.65, a 64% improvement. Nathan has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
