3×3 · top 5.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2018 · 2018BEAU03
Seth M. Beaulieu has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.44, set at Wichita Speedcubing Fall 2024, puts him in the top 5.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,297th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since March 2018, he has put 88 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.49 in March 2018 to 9.44, a 30% improvement. Seth has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
