3×3 · top 7.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2012 · 2012JACK02
Nick Jackson has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.02, set at CubingUSA Nationals 2017, puts him in the top 7.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,131st in the United States. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since November 2012, he has put 131 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 52% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.19 in November 2012 to 10.02, a 24% improvement. Nick has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
