3×3 · top 8.5% of 288,433 all-time · competing since April 2022 · 2022VERD02

Noam Verdaime has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.33, set at Talence Open 2023, puts him in the top 8.5% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 473rd in France. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since April 2022, he has put 275 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 71% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.44 in April 2022 to 10.33, a 56% improvement. Noam has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
