Paul Cassalette
3×3 · top 4.5% of 288,433 all-time · competing since April 2017 · 2017CASS01
Paul Cassalette has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.82, set at Rubik's German Nationals 2024, puts him in the top 4.5% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 240th in Germany. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since April 2017, he has put 74 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.45 in April 2017 to 8.82, a 34% improvement. Paul has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
