Richard Madison

Clock · top 71.5% of 32,048 all-time · competing since September 2017 · 2017MADI03

Richard Madison has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 22.59, set at No 3x3x3 Mississauga 2018, puts him in the top 71.5% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 710th in Canada. Across 7 competitions since September 2017, he has put 44 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:28.86 in October 2017 to 1:01.57, a 31% improvement. Richard has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
