3×3 · top 7.1% of 288,433 all-time · competing since January 2024 · 2024FLIN01
Tom Flint has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.85, set at Kewbz UK Championship 2026, puts him in the top 7.1% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 524th in the United Kingdom. Until October 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since January 2024, he has put 138 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 80% of the 36,406 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 15.93 in January 2024 to 9.85, a 38% improvement. Tom has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
