Stephen Gray has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 18.06, set at Marrickville Many May Open 2023, puts him in the top 34.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,278th in Australia. Across 13 competitions since September 2019, he has put 69 official solves on the record across two 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. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 45.32 in September 2019 to 18.06, a 60% improvement. Stephen has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
