Reuben Williams

3×3 · top 28.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2022 · 2022WILL25

Reuben Williams has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 16.15, set at Wiltshire Spring 2023, puts him in the top 28.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,875th in the United Kingdom. Across 10 competitions since June 2022, he has put 140 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 62% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 36.50 in June 2022 to 16.15, a 56% improvement. Reuben has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
