3×3 · top 15.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2015 · 2015COUR02

Zolie Courtney has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 12.35, set at Melbourne Cube Days 2016, puts him in the top 15.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,351st in Australia. Across 3 competitions since March 2015, he has put 56 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.91 in March 2015 to 12.35, an 11% improvement. Zolie has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
