3×3 · top 7.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2019 · 2019HAMA09
Westin Hama has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.12, set at WCC Western Championship 2022, puts him in the top 7.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,300th in the United States. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since October 2019, he has put 60 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.13 in October 2019 to 10.12, a 50% improvement. Westin has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
