3×3 · top 10.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since September 2025 · 2025ADAB01
Raphael Adabie has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.84, set at Stevenage July 2026, puts him in the top 10.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 710th in the United Kingdom. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since September 2025, he has put 72 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.12 in September 2025 to 10.84, a 17% improvement. Raphael has entered two 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.
