Noé Kouadio has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.94, set at Mirecourt Open 2026, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 401st in France.

His 3×3 best has come down from 37.75 in January 2025 to 9.94, a 74% improvement. He has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
