Samuel Moliver has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.80, set at Australian Nationals 2023, puts him in the top 2.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 243rd in Australia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 37 competitions since June 2017, he has put 1,179 official solves on the record across 17 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 20.46 in June 2017 to 7.80, a 62% improvement. Samuel has entered 37 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
