Sam Moliver has been competing for 9 years. Their best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.80, set at Australian Nationals 2023, puts them in the top 2.5% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 245th in Australia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 39 competitions since June 2017, they have put 1,275 official solves on the record across 17 events.

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.
