Samuel Remus has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.64, set at Minnesota Qualifier 2019, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,277th in the United States. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since May 2017, he has put 120 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 88% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.60 in May 2017 to 8.64, a 41% improvement. Samuel has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
