3×3 · top 8.1% of 288,433 all-time · competing since April 2022 · 2022NOSK01
Trent Nosky has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.20, set at Bay Area Speedcubin' 29 PM 2022, puts him in the top 8.1% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,508th in the United States. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since April 2022, he has put 69 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. Trent has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
