Tobin Lee

3×3 · top 8.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2024 · 2024LEET04

Tobin Lee has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.24, set at NAC Prep in Palisades 2026, puts him in the top 8.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,498th in the United States. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since June 2024, he has put 113 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 62% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.19 in June 2024 to 10.24, a 62% improvement. Tobin has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
