Ugonna Nwakuche
3×3 · top 8.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2018 · 2018NWAK01
Ugonna Nwakuche has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.47, set at Bay Area Speedcubin' 14 2019, puts him in the top 8.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,854th in the United States. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since April 2018, he has put 120 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 57% of the 35,811 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 13.95 in April 2018 to 10.47, a 25% improvement. Ugonna 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.
