3×3 · top 54.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2005 · 2005BOSS01
Thomas Bossmann has been competing for 21 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 25.64, set at German Championship 2006, puts him in the top 54.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,494th in Germany. Across 12 competitions since April 2005, he has put 64 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 94% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:43.49 in April 2005 to 25.64, a 75% improvement. Thomas has entered twelve 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.
