Toby Coote

3×3 · top 4.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2018 · 2018COOT01

Toby Coote has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.63, set at Craigie Cube-Off 2021, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 382nd in Australia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since April 2018, he has put 151 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 66% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.39 in April 2018 to 8.63, a 47% improvement. Toby has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
