Ben Stokes is the national record holder for 3x3x3 blindfolded mean of 3 solves and is very active in the UK cubing community. Despite only starting cubing in 2017, he has advanced up the UK rankings in every event very quickly and is now ranked 7th in the UK for sum of ranks (where ranking is summed together for every event and then ranked lowest to highest). Despite his success in blind events and 2x2x2, he says his favourite event is actually megaminx.
