Toby Gillard has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.00, set at Goulburn Open 2024, puts him in the top 4.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 452nd in Australia. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since August 2023, he has put 80 official solves on the record across six events.

Toby has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
