Noah Grupee

3×3 · top 9.8% of 288,433 all-time · competing since March 2024 · 2024GRUP01

Noah Grupee has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.77, set at Puzzling Pakenham Saturday 2026, puts him in the top 9.8% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 882nd in Australia. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since March 2024, he has put 61 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 60% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.14 in March 2024 to 10.77, a 24% improvement. Noah has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
