Nico Stuber

3×3 · top 64.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2015 · 2015STUB02

Nico Stuber has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 31.35, set at Zurich Open 2016, puts him in the top 64.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 772nd in Switzerland. Across 5 competitions since March 2015, he has put 56 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 52.72 in March 2015 to 31.35, a 41% improvement. Nico 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.
