Stanley Harrison

3×3 · top 10.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2016 · 2016HARR07

Stanley Harrison has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.84, set at Manchester Open 2017, puts him in the top 10.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 710th in the United Kingdom. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since April 2016, he has put 63 official solves on the record across seven events.

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.
