Owen Reiss has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.43, set at Berkeley Winter 2024, puts him in the top 5.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,282nd in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since August 2019, he has put 143 official solves on the record across four events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 18.74 in August 2019 to 9.43, a 50% improvement. Owen has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
