Noah Thorpe

3×3 · top 7.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2019 · 2019THOR05

Noah Thorpe has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.93, set at Melbourne Cube Days 2019, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 676th in Australia. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since October 2019, he has put 95 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 22% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.04 in October 2019 to 9.93, an 18% improvement. Noah has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
