Noah Schulhof
3×3 · top 1.1% of 288,433 all-time · competing since November 2014 · 2014SCHU02
Noah Schulhof has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.78, set at Maryland 2017, puts him in the top 1.1% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 710th in the United States. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since November 2014, he has put 307 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 75% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 8 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 43.96 in November 2014 to 6.78, an 85% improvement. Noah has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
